No outlook option in windows live mail import

I currently have windows 7 installed with outlook installed as my main e-mail
client. I now want to use windows live mail, but when I go to the import
section, then messages the only options showing are outlook express, windows
mail and windows live mail. Can anyone explain why outlook does not show up.

Starting with version 14.x of WLM, Microsoft removed the ability to import
Outlook's PST files.
