Microsoft Installs 27-Foot Wide Surface Tablet in Trafalgar Square

If you thought the Microsoft tablets at Fox News were big, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Microsoft promoted the launch of its Surface 2 tablet this week by installing what may be the largest tablet we've ever seen in the middle of London's Trafalgar Square. The tablet is 27 feet wide (yes, feet -- not inches) and 17 feet tall. Apparently the tablet actually works, too.

Just to give you a sense of the tablet's size, here's another picture of children playing on the tablet:

And the crowd gathering around it:

So @Microsoft has only gone and installed a giant Surface 2 in Trafalgar Square. Keyboard works apparently. pic.twitter.com/QXQ2TdnFB5— Peter Gothard (@petergothard) October 24, 2013
