And yet, more Vista news! I’m sure in the next several days, there will continue to be more Vista news and announcements. Yesterday, on the Windows Vista Blog, they announced that any computer running Windows Vista can go to a North American T-Mobile HotSpot from January 30th until April 30th for free, “blazing-fast broadband” Internet. While the official start date of this offer is January 30th, the launch of Vista, it actually goes live on Friday the 26th.

So, where can you find T-Mobile’s hot spots? In the United States they have 8.324 locations.  They include Starbucks, Borders bookstores, FedEx Kinko’s locations, select Hyatt Hotels and resorts, airports, and the airline clubs of American, Delta, United and US Airways.

You can find additional information at http://www.skysurprise.com which appears to be the official site for this program.  T-Mobile also has a HotSpot location finder, so that you can find a location closest to you. That site can be found here. This is around a $30 value per month, and not a bad PR move by Microsoft.  Hey, it’s free, no complaining here!
