Call through numbers that are free via inclusive minutes are scarce these days so its always good to see new ones come out. Following from this post, pre-dial have re-launched 2 call through numbers

01635-578-107  and  01635-578-562

in addition to 01793 23 82 80

See this post at nifty list forum to see how the 2 new numbers work.

0845/0870

the 01635 numbers allow you to call 0845 and the 01793 number allows 0845 and weekend 0870. Please check the forum for updates on 0845/0870 usage. You can test it yourself as well to verify.

Winsupersite

I have updated my favourite links and have removed bink.nu and replaced it with Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows aka winsupersite.

bink.nu is a news aggregator for Microsoft product stories. I rarely read bink.nu anymore as it contains too much news about products I simply am not interested in. winsupersite, however, primarily consists of reviews of core Windows products like Vista SP1, XP SP3, Vista 64bit etc as well as many standard applications. It more closely reflects my interests and is much more useful. Check out this post for example.
