That's complete bull**** unless you use the Metro interface

so it kind of makes sense that you can only fit two. If you use
the Desktop (in other words, the traditional Windows inteface),
you can have a million of them open if you so desire.

I think the actual limit is 291,732 windows open. You are
definitely exaggerating.

I agree. I've had no trouble opening any number of windows in the
Desktop that I've wanted to (and of course, I pay close attention
to that 291,732-window limit).

Is there an actual limit? I'm curious now.

My guess would be no. Just keep opening windows until your computer
starts to vaporize.

More seriously: Somewhere along the line there will be no memory left
to allocate or performance will begin to suffer - or both.

As for a fixed limit: my guess above could easily be wrong. (You knew
that!)
