In December, Microsoft announced a contest where up-and-coming music groups could enter to win a gig playing as part of the Grammy Awards week as well as a chance to be featured in a commercial for Microsoft"s Surface tablet. Microsoft will debut its new Surface Pro TV ad during the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, and it"s now been confirmed that it will feature the winner of the Grammy Awards contest, the Alabama-based music group Within Reason.
