Hmmm, define applications - explorer, user32.dll, win32.exe - if that's all it can do, it's not going to be much use. Depending on your definition of "applications", it takes more than 3 "applications" to even login (it probably takes more than 3 to boot). > I'm going to do some digging but if this is true then it's more > ammunition against the Beast of Redmond. The number of applications a user can run at a time is only limited by the amount of memory (real and virtual). I don't see the point of MS restricting things like that - it's completely machine-specific.
