The picture of a guy drawing a circle on the big DESKTOP monitor gave me a good laugh. Sorry, I cannot take the rest seriously I feel you think that is a good idea.

Yep - that's not going to be comfortable for anyone, which is exactly why touchscreen desktops have not taken the world by storm.

You know I thought the same thing - then I got a Surface Book and occasionally find myself doing that. You don't draw the Mona Lisa in that position but for super quick markups it's fine.

Well, that's why the Surface Studio tilts all the way down to the desk and faces the user at something like 15° off the table surface. Same angle as desks that professional illustrators use.

Why do Windows-haters always know so little about the things they hate?

Really? Wacom's Cintiq and its huge acceptance by artists and others who like writing more than typing would argue that with you.

Oh I've played with Wacom Cintiq a bit. I'd love to sketch something on it at a 15 deg angle and the smooth pressure sensitive stylus. But don't feel like browsing on it. This picture was a guy drawing on a 90 deg monitor with a stylus that I suppose is not as professional as a Wacom Cintiq. That's what I called out.

Has anyone done detailed comparisons of the differences in attempting to complete the same workflow on Windows vs Mac?
