'We are delighted to be Microsoft's chosen WiFi partner for the launch of Windows Vista and expect this to be of great benefit to UK consumers as they experience the new exciting applications when on the move.'

To gain access, Vista users should go to thecloud.net/vista and enter their Vista product registration code, which will then be checked online. No credit/debit card details are required unless you wish to continue using The Cloud network after 30 April.
