Microsoft to sell 80-inch Windows 8 touchscreen PCs

Most folks would probably consider a tablet to be a mobile device with a screen that ranges from 7 to 12 inches or so. Not Microsoft VP Frank Shaw, who recently told Wired UK that CEO Steve Ballmer has a Windows 8 80-incher hanging on the wall of his office.
Microsoft wants Windows 8 running on any size screen that any manufacturer can produce, and they want those screens to offer touch input.

It?s not Sharp who is working with Microsoft on the gargantuan touch PC as you might expect. Though the Japanese company showed off a similar 80-inch Aquos Board (pictured) at CES 2012, this one?s being built by an as-yet-unnamed partner.

As for it not being able to users like you and me, Shaw figures it?s only a matter of time before that changes. LG?s already got a dual-core Smart TV on the way, so how long could it possibly take before someone decides to slap Windows RT on a big screen and sell it to consumers?
