There are always some benefits in being the first. In this instance I’m talking about the Vista OS launch. PC users who were fast on their toes in making the Vista upgrade will be given three months of free Wi-Fi access. If that isn’t a great offer then I don’t know what it is! I think that this is a great benefit for the users . . . likewise for Microsoft. I’m sure this is still one of their promotional strategies to get the people to make the switch A.S.A.P.

In the UK, Microsoft partnered with a company called The Cloud for the three-month offer of free Wi-Fi access. A spokesperson from the company said that they were chosen because they have a wider coverage in the area compared to other Wi-Fi providers. This is evident in the fact that The Cloud has 7,500 W-Fi sites all over United Kingdom. Their Wi-Fi service is even accessible indoors like in the airports, railway stations and hotels.

Those who are eligible for the promo will have to sign up on the Microsoft UK Vista homepage in order for them to access the service. Upon sign-up, the users will not in any way be asked for their credit info . . . naturally since it is a free promo.

Americans shouldn’t fret because this free Wi-Fi access is also available in the US, via T-Mobile. This free offer is too great an offer to pass up, lucky for those who made the Vista switch fast!
