Walking Dead and Windows 8 ad finally shows up
Earlier this morning we wrote about the new Windows 8 commercial that aired during the Waking Dead on AMC last night.
Reader pbroy managed to rip a copy from a recording of the show and now we can show it to you in all its glory. The video gets quite a chuckle and should do well as far as gaining attention. Thanks, pbroy, for the video!

So can you redirect you text messaging from your service provider to your win8 tablet?
dinchy87 says:
No. This is windows lice serivce - called messenger or facebook chat or other. But no gsm sms service

webOS supported this between their phones and the Touchpad. I was really hoping Microsoft would bring this to Windows 8/Windows Phone 8, especially since this will be the first time I'll be in the complete ecosystem to use it.

Not yet, although there's no API restriction preventing carriers from offering an "account" setup for that.

Very good stuff. MS needs to do more these types of commercials for other shows.

Seems a little tongue in cheek, especially for MS.

There was also a 2nd Windows 8 ad during the Walking Dead. It was a Countdown 10... 9... 8... 8... 8... Awesome ad that really showed off Windows 8.

They should have put a WP8 in there as well.
Unicornageddon says:
Wow, that ad was way better than The Walking Dead.
hyperova says:
You sir are so very lame...
MaulerX says:
That was a pretty darn awesome tv ad.
I know it's for W8, but it's awesome to see the familiar Metro UI getting this much exposure. It can only help WP's cause.

W8 & Zombies, how can someone not like this?
dsba says:
Is that a Surface?
