Microsoft’s new Windows Phone ad is (too) much like Google’s old Nexus commercial

That's true. But not only commercials but most of the things in the industry these days. That's a little sad and boring.

ok so anyone who acually listned to what they said cant honestly say these to are alike!
google is basicly saying that they have a phone for everybody, while microsoft says that they got a phone for you.

It is nice to be an individual rather then just one person in a sea of people

I was hoping for ad more like that for the Surface. No words, just demonstrating what the device can do and why it's appealing.

You're so right, if that were the case all these Android makers wouldn't be paying Microsoft Millions for as you put it things it "... can learn more from Android...". If Google/Android could/would create their own technology, then, just maybe then they could teach Microsoft something. Otherwise, let Android keep on being successful using all the technology they have "learned" to use from Microsoft.

Well....it not like they use a boat load of tech from MS or that MS uses. Last I heard it had to do something with maps.

Me too unable to find any resemblance except google is showing features and MS is showing customization.
Don't blame anyone for stealing without any actual proof.

You didn't even need to see the dates. The Google Nexus obviously came out a year before Windows 8 phones.

You're exactly right! I think MS, by releasing this ad, is trying to answer Google's ad that came out a year ago, not copy it... I think that is clever.
