T-Mobile Offers Vista Users Free Wi-Fi at Its HotSpots

As I was surfing around the Web today, I browsed over to the Windows Vista blog where I found the post about the free T-Mobile Wi-Fi offer.

This is what the post, by Microsoft Product Manager Nick White, says: "Take your mobile PC running Windows Vista to any North American T-Mobile HotSpot between 30th January and 30th April for a complimentary, blazing-fast broadband connection. This offer actually goes live on Friday 26th and will not receive further promotion until January 30th, but I wanted readers of this blog to be the first to know, and to take advantage."

T-Mobile HotSpots include Starbucks coffee shops, Borders Books and music stores, and FedEx Kinko's Office and Print centers.

Microsoft then encourages readers to visit another Web site for the program details, where they are promised that they will be able to connect, for free and at broadband speeds, at thousands of T-Mobile HotSpot locations across the country.

The site also, conveniently, gives users all sorts of information about the benefits of Vista to mobile users, as well as letting them meet what White describes as "Yuri and Sergei, the cosmonauts" and where they can "learn all about the new dance craze, the cosmonaughty." Do so at your own risk!

So, is three months of free Wi-Fi access at T-Mobile HotSpots around the country, added to the other incentives offered so far, the proverbial straw that will break the camel's back and get you to move to Vista?
