Alright, Microsoft: we take it all back. It was wrong, just wrong of us to impugn your promotional filmmaking skills. That
Bruce Springsteen parody? Spot on.
Awkward Vegas flirtations? True pathos. And now, to promote the launch of your latest version of the Surface table for Sheraton Hotels, you've crafted the touching story of a curious kid, a smug photo-twirler, her tardy date and a loving asian family. We don't want to spoil anything, but complications ensue, folks, and this is one nail-biter worthy of a sequel. Do they all end up going to dinner together? Or are they destined to troll Craigslist that evening, seeking their missed connection...
You: Cute family.
Me: Sultry Surface spokeswoman.
My date was a disaster, and now I'm all alone for the weekend, let me teach you how to pair your phones with the table over Bluetooth, and then we can all go get ice cream together!
Heartbreaking, simply heartbreaking. Video is after the break.

Oh, think of all the diseases this thing will help spread...
Erik,
You paid thousands of dollars a year ago to enlarge pictures with your hands?
Why?
Paul you bastard, your summary was far more exciting than the actual video. I want my 2 minutes back. And I want Paul to make a movie.
I'm still not sold on the usefulness of surface but if MS was able to push it through to Sheraton, I expect them to be spreading it out to even more locations, and I wouldn't be surprised to see those commonplace in many places in a few years.
Say what you want, but MS can push a product like no one else... whether you want it or not.
they were supposed to use a child that did not have gaps in his teeth because it was a better representation of what the Sheraton wanted to convey
Any such gadget for cad, sketchup and photoshop????
