Windows Live Hotmail and Motif

Good news!

As you may know, MSN is moving its content into AJAX environments. These environments generally refresh their ad slots in complex ways without updating the entire page. In particular, MSN is moving in this direction with its high volume email site.

Windows Live Hotmail is the replacement for Hotmail. The MSN team has developed some complex technologies which allow AJAX ad slots to be refreshed without using Iframes. Our engineering team has been working very closely with the MSN team on assuring that rich media ads using Motif technology work properly in these ad slots across browsers and OS’es.

The good news: Motif has been certified in Windows Live Hotmail and is the first vendor worldwide to have this certification.
