What about a 36" tablet? There is absolutely no reason why not.
Sure there is. There's no way in hell I'm going to reach out to poke at a
display sitting at my desk. This is why Windows 8 is a total catastrophe.
They're forcing tablet behavior in an environment that is decidedly
optimized for exactly NOT that kind of interface.
Apple did a lot of the same with Lion/Mountain Lion...right now it seems to
