Microsoft is to promote 80-inch Win8 Tablet PC
Summary
Microsoft is planning to introduce 80-inch Windows 8 Tablet PCs, as confirmed by VP Frank Shaw. CEO Steve Ballmer reportedly uses one in his office, utilizing its touch capabilities for daily tasks and replacing traditional devices. While Sharp previously displayed an 80-inch LCD, these tablets will feature displays from a different manufacturer, with release details yet to be announced.
