Zombies seem to be real hardcore geeks these days and some of them are so attracted by technology that they’re even using Microsoft’s new Surface tablet.

As you can see in this advertisement aired during the “Walking Dead” TV show premiere last weekend, the built-in Windows RT messaging tool can be successfully used by zombies too.

While the ad might scare your children a little bit, we can’t help but applaud Microsoft’s achievement of creating such an advanced display that’s also touch sensitive to zombies’ fingers.

On a more serious note, this seems to be yet another Microsoft effort to emphasize Windows 8’s touch capabilities, as the company plans to roll out one of the largest advertising campaigns ever started in the United States.
