Microsoft continues its marketing blitz for the Surface Pro, this time with a new ad supposed to show everyone that its Windows 8 Pro tablet can be the right tool to manage your business.

The company showcases the story of Drew Crocket, owner and founder of HubBub Coffee in Philadelphia, PA, who uses the Surface Pro for his daily activities.

“I use the Surface keyboard a fair amount. It goes back to the versatility that you get with the Surface. I can be using it for a display at the shop or to type and email or update inventory in Excel all with the same device,” Crocket explained.

Leaving this marketing material aside, Microsoft is also working on updates for the Surface RT and Pro, with both new versions expected to come in the next 12 months.

As far as the revised tablet lineup is concerned, it’s believed that an 8-inch unit is also part of the update, as Microsoft wants to compete with small tablet leaders iPad mini and Nexus 7.
