My gmail is registered as a Windows Live account.

So same email / different password / different service.

I store all my contacts on my Windows Live account.

When you register the phone with a Google Account it automatically creates an Account for the email associated to the Google Account.

I then want to add a Windows Live account in order to sync my contacts.

Android OS prevents this by disallowing the registration of the Windows Live service by telling me that the email address is already associated with an account.
