Anyone have a guess what it costs to tile 4 of those 4K multi-touch displays like shown in the video? That would make a heck of a desktop.

Indeed. The current 55" 1080p Surface Hub is $10-12K. The image staying still as the screen rotates is gimmicky but being able easily to move and spread content between multiple Surface Hubs could be really useful.

  I wouldn't say it's gimmicky, I wish actual Windows did this. How Windows handles rotation is a bit sloppy.

  I don't have to ask, and I can't afford it. Taking google results for the surface hub 1: $9,172.99 · Insight $6,499.99 · www.widgetree.comFree shipping, no tax $8,999.00 · Mobile AdvanceFree shipping $10,815.43 · Aztek ComputersFree shipping Average = 8871 Give them 35% premium for the new one (simple numbers guess based on the fact that the new one will cost somewhat more) = 11976 Multiple by 4 $47904 for a 4x display of Surface Hub 2s. Doesn't mean I can afford it. :)

"The new Surface Hub 2 is sleeker, more agile and more affordable to fit any workspace or work style." No info on exactly how much more affordable. Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft (but not on this).

I'm not sure how replies work on Hacker News and if you'll get a notification of my reply further down in the stack, but here's my uneducated napkin math on how I get to ~$50k I don't have to ask, and I can't afford it.
