  We show that the recently proposed minimal walking technicolor theory
together with a small modification of the Standard Model fermionic matter
content leads to an excellent degree of unification of the gauge couplings. We
compare the degree of unification with various time-honored technicolor models
and the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. We find that,
at the one-loop level, the new theory provides a degree of unification higher
than any of the other extensions above. The phenomenology of the present model
is very rich with various potential dark matter candidates.
