That's because you are not using IE. What you are seeing is a non-IE (watered down) version of the app. Therefore, first and foremost, you need to access OWA from Internet Explorer, otherwise you will not see the Rules section. Secondly, make sure forwarding is allowed from the Exchange server. Then:

There is no difference. Just use the one that you prefer, if the address you want is still available.
Hotmail has 364 million users. They started adding more domains so that more people could get the email address they wanted. My mother managed to find her name available on @hotmail.co.uk, while she has to have a large number as a suffix on @hotmail.com.

Outlook.com allows the creation of email aliases, which is essentially the same as the Gmail and Yahoo features that you mention. Email sent to your aliases will forward to your regular Outlook.com account.
Outlook.com does have limits, though: you can only create up to 5 aliases per year, and you can have a maximum of 15 aliases in total.
Here is the link ...

@hotmail.com is from before Microsoft began transitioning to their Windows Live products. @live.com is simply the new addresses they are handing out, though the old @hotmail.com addresses still work so that older users are not disrupted.
As far as a reason to get one or the other, I believe it's simply up to personal preference. Last I checked, all of the ...

From Wikipedia:
Office Live Workspace is currently not
supported on Office 2010. In May 2010,

to view and edit documents through
Office Web Apps.

One thing you could try is using a second domain to redirect. It looks like Windows Live would support you creating an email domain, of say
mail.example.com
and then you could create a catchall on your registrar's site (GoDaddy instructions for example) for the "main"/primary domain.
catcher@example.com (is catchall) (redirects to ...

Looking for this also, apparently it's under development or still being considered as an option to be build later since October 2010.

The certificate error can be ignored – the certificate expired yesterday (June 9th) but is otherwise valid.
The second, "Server Error" is misconfiguration at Microsoft's end, and there is nothing you can do here. You'll have to wait for Microsoft to fix it.
There does seem to be another way to register an application: Go to https://live.azure.com/, ...

You shouldn't need to do anything as all your information should be transferred to your new ID.

and contacts will automatically
transfer to your new ID within 48
hours.

I think the best you can do is go to https://account.live.com/ and setup your new account as a linked account.
Linked accounts let you switch between account quickly by clicking on your name. You can log into any of the accounts and then switch.

Yes, this is a known current limitation that is being addressed.
Same here.
(I wonder how you are adding SkyDrive as a networking drive. This is not currently a scenario Microsoft supports officially. :-)) This is currently by design - SkyDrive does not allow uploading files to the root; only folders are allowed in the root "folder".

Just right click on the SkyDrive icon in your icon tray (lower right screen of your computer) and click on "settings". Then click the "unlink Skydrive" button. It basically logs you out of your old account and lets you login with your new one. When setting up the new email address, just click to keep the file locations the same on your computer and viola!
