Surface product placement

[Chip]

I guess they had a Surface on NCIS Los Angles. I was also at a SharePoint Saturday yesterday and saw six Surfaces in a group of about 400. They also gave a Surface as a door prize.

I was watching Elementary this week and ran into some of the most blatant product placement I've ever seen. Sherlock needed to look up something for a case and it shows him grab his surface and keyboard makes the click joining the two. Then zooms in on the hinge for the other click sound. I thought it was hilarious and had to rewind it a few times. Wonder how much MS paid for that.

Sorry I couldn't find a clip anywhere but I will keep looking.

I prefer to leave my devices out of the bathroom, but maybe that's just me.

Wow, they really focused on what he did with it. Love it!

It's great to see microsoft heavily advertising the Surface; I've seen it placed in a few other tv shows as well as in straight commercials that are attractive, and well done. All they need to do now is to make it available in the usual distribution channels so that more people can get a hands on experience.

Surface on NCIS

Just saw a treasury agent using a Surface on tonight's NCIS show. More product placement. Good stuff.

Saw that. The product placement was a bit more subtle and believable than some of the other ones. Nice to keep seeing the Surface on TV.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but has anybody seen the Comedy Central commercials for the Daily Show Headlines Surface app? They are big time promotions beyond product placement and run heavily during Colbert and the Daily show (I would consider a prime Apple demographic they are going after). The Daily Show Headlines App | Political Comedy | Comedy Central | Windows 8 and The Daily Show Headlines app for Windows in the Windows Store

Can't seem to find the actual commercial though

I think MS has done a commendable job of both advertising and product placement for the Surface. Maybe a little payback for those crappy Apple anti Vista ads of a few years ago.

Saw it last night as well. Made me smile.
