How to nab free T-Mobile WiFi lovin' without running Vista

  So, you're not quite ready to spring for a copy of
  Vista, or maybe your system can't handle it, or perhaps
  you're running Mac OS or (gasp) Linux. Why should you be
  left out of those three months of free T-Mobile WiFi
  just because you don't kowtow to The Man? Never fear, it
  turns out it isn't all that hard to get tricksy on those
  T-Mobile Hotspots, since they're only verifying your OS
  based on the user agent string your browser spits out.
  Luckily for you, a simple bit of googling will quickly
  reveal methods for swapping the user agent on most major
  browsers, and once you enter the string "Mozilla/4.0
  (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)" you should be
  all good to go. Then all you'll need to do is train your
  browser to http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/vista/ and start
  browsing those internets. Tell 'em Engadget sent ya',
  they'll understand.
