Learn how, with nothing more than a little JavaScript, you can allow customers to use their Windows Live Contacts (Hotmail/Windows Live Mail and Messenger contacts) directly from your Web site.

To get started check out all of our developer info, the two working samples we’ve posted, and read the blog posts by one of the guys who developed it: Danny Thorpe.

Also, remember that this is a beta version, so be sure to review the known issues.

The following configurations are supported:

• IE6 with service packs on XP SP2
• IE7 beta 3 on XP SP2
• Firefox 1.5 on XP SP2

If you have success with the contacts gadget on other browser/platform configurations, we’d like to hear about it!
