Microsoft has confirmed that they have taken a new route to promoting Office 365: WiFi hotspots in select Forbes magazines! These T-Mobile connected routers offer the recipient 15 days of wireless access and can accommodate up to 5 devices. Before use, they require 3 hours of charging via a Micro-USB cable

The device was first noticed by a user on Slickdeals and then later confirmed on Mashable by a Microsoft spokesperson. Each device is being sent via the May 6th 2013 issue of Forbes Magazine to a “limited number of technology and business professionals.”

The intent is to drive more users to the cloud and in turn, the Office 365 experience as well as just make the cloud seem cool and inspiring. Thealways on, always availableandalways connectedideal is at the core of Office 365 and having multiple users interfacing with Office via onealways ondevice further promotes the collaborative space offered by Office 365.

Though I am not certain how many will buy into Office 365 because of this, I can say for certain this router would look nice next to my stack of AOL CDs.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
