Eldritch in new 'Microsoft Surface' tv spot?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Here in Germany we have a new tv spot for Microsoft Surface with a man wearing sunglass in the middle of the spot. I just had the chance to look it twice in high tv quality, but always thought it is Von?

The spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYGw5O54Z24 (look at 0:34)

No...plus I can't imagine he'd be up doing commercials for any commercial OS out there since we know that he's more interested in free/opensource OS.

And on top of that, I couldn't imagine why M$ (or any other large firm) would hire him for commercials...
