Steve Ballmer's Windows 8 rig measures 80 inches, so... does that do anything for ya?

Perhaps it's a fine work of art -- maybe even an original -- but it most certainly isn't an 80-inch Windows 8 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows8) computer. That curious distinction belongs to Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer (http://www.engadget.com/tag/steveballmer), who has eschewed use of his phone, notepad and a more practical email solution in the name of awesomeness (or, perhaps compensation for those lagging (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/ballmer-windows-phones-arent-selling-very-well-but-were-not/) Windows Phone sales.) Initially said to be a machine that'd be marketed and sold by Microsoft, the company has since clarified that no such effort will take place -- although the door remains open for independent vendors to step in and sell similar behemoth Windows 8 setups. Unlike most tablets, we've a hard time imagining ol' Steve throwing this one under his arm as he scoots out of the office... but then again, the man can afford some mighty good chiropractors.
