Free Wi-Fi for Vista Users

Now’s the time to grab your new laptop and hit the road, wandering Internet addicts.

Users of Microsoft’s new Vista operating system can connect to T-Mobile Hotspots for free from January 30 to April 30. That’s 90 days of free wireless broadband Internet access at US and worldwide locations like airports, Starbucks coffeehouses, Borders Books and Music stores, and FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print centers. This is a great deal (if you have Vista) since 90 days on a month-to-month Hotspot plan normally costs about $120.

So far, this is the only reason I’ve found for upgrading my OS. Yeah, I said it.
