I was walking to the train station on my way home this evening when I spotted a Surface Ad on a bus stop in front of Macy's(corner of Randolph\State St).
 
I love how microsoft is advertising these in Metro type places. Sub way stations, train stations, bus stops... little bit of symbolism

Can you think of a better way (legal) to pass the time on a train, subway or bus? It's good that MS has a marketing team with good ideas on board.
 
What makes this a GREAT ad is that they didn't use the "Microsoft" name anywhere. Obviously it has the logo on the tablet but most people won't notice that. "Microsoft has a bad name with a lot of "hip" people so just having a great looking device on the as is smart. Get people interested prior to telling them it is made by Microsoft.
 
There is also the "chalk line" style ad in Wicker Park on Milwaukee if any other Chicagoans are famliar

I saw that same poster in an(NYC)Astoria Queens bus stop. I wanted to take a pic but my DVP is broken.
