Playing Angry Birds on a $21K 82-inch touchscreen is awesome (video)

SAN FRANCISCO — At Microsoft’s Build conference today, a lot of the talk centered on developer-focused cloud services and new Windows 8 apps. But Build thankfully also included a whole “gaming section” with some really fun demos.

One such demo was an 82-inch Perceptive Pixel touch screen running the just-released Windows 8.1 Preview. Normally a screen like this would be used for presentations, video chat, drawing, and other business-like activities. But instead, I decided to rev up a game of Angry Birds: Star Wars.
