Well here it is on MSN:

It doesn't show it every time but I
wanted you to see it for yourself.

There's supposed to be another band-shaped
advertising, that goes right across the screen,
and doesn't come in via the web browser. But
so far, no one has been able to provide a screenshot
of it (catch it "in the wild").

On the MSN page, obviously Microsoft can insert
that band, into their HTML code.

On Yahoo, they could buy advertising space at the top
of the web page.

Microsoft has as much as a $1 billion advertising
budget for things like Office or their OS. But they
don't always spend all of it.

I would be more concerned, if the blue band was
outside your browser borders, because that would
imply the advertisement got there via Windows Update.
I've seen the blue band advertisement before, and
it was quite possibly while testing msn.com .
