A few weeks ago, Microsoft posted the transcript of a chat about WPS, their Windows XP-only solution for standardized, wizarded Wi-Fi network provisioning: Although the fellow talks about the standards-based approach, it appears that the support on the client side will entirely be within Windows XP; it's unclear from this transcript whether non-Microsoft clients can be developed, but it might be the case. The idea behind this sort of wizard-based hotspot connection system makes a lot of sense, but a broader industry-based adoption would make it a better win for the hotspot operators who have to consider adopting it. T-Mobile is looking at both 802.1X and WPS, and may already quietly be in trials of both technologies.
