Microsoft Surface In New Linkin Park Video?

[digg=http://digg.com/tech_news/microsoft_surface_in_linkin_park_video]I am a bit late to the game but I just watched the new Linkin Park video for “Leave out all the rest”. The video is on a space station that resembled the one from Sunshine the movie. Apart from the video being totally awesome noticed about 40 seconds into it the camera cut to a frosted glass topped table where they were moving what look like futuristic glass game pieces around and the table glows when the pieces are moved. This to me immediately made me think it was Microsoft Surface by the way you can place things on the surface and it will place a glow round the base on the object in contact with the table.

Now obviously this could just be some CGI! In the second capture below you can see the table is quite long, but they are playing at one end of it so it could be an extension to the surface.

I am a massive fan of Linkin Park and combining that with my geekness caused me to write this post!

What do you think? Is it Microsoft Surface or just a CGI effect?
