"This isn't the 80-inch Microsoft-powered Sharp Aquos Board touchscreen unveiled earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, however. Shaw explained that the model Ballmer is using and that Microsoft will promote is made by "a different company, but it's running Windows 8"."

"Every screen should be touch, every screen should be a computer and should be able to see out as well as see in. That is the way the world is heading [and] those screens are going to be big, small, wall-sized and desk-sized."

Agreed.

If my next computer is an 80" touchscreen, I'd want to make sure it's operating system isn't as arsingly ugly as Windows 8's interface.

Quoted for truth.

Also the metro interface looks absolutely pathetic on a 28 inch screen, so one on a 80 inch one would be more than three times as pathetic. It just doesnt work.
