Microsoft’s at it again! The booming computer technology brand is known for its pricey acts; but, this one takes the cake.

It couldn't get bigger than this!

At the recently concluded technology fair CEBIT, Germany; attendees caught a glimpse of Microsoft Cinema. Well! That’s what Microsoft’s newest 234 inch touch screen display was nicknamed by whoever saw it. Created by Microsoft Germany and Stereolize, an interactive presentation specialist, this gigantic display would be used during trade shows. This comes as no surprise that this display screen is indeed the largest one.

Debuting at CEBIT, 2011, this display was used by the presenters to showcase the details of some of Microsoft’s other newcomers – Windows Phone 7, Internet Explorer 9 and Office. A combination of flicking, tapping and panning did amuse and enthrall the audiences, nevertheless.

Now, we’re as clueless as you are on the fate of this mighty tech, but have no qualms about accepting that we’re awed, too.
