Apple plans to match Microsoft Surface with split-screen iPad multitasking in iOS 8 | 9to5Mac

Probably too late for Microsoft to sue Apple for cloning the Windows 1.0 non-overlapping windows design...

"iOS 8 is likely to supercharge the functionality of Apple’s iPad with a new split-screen multitasking feature, according to sources with knowledge of the enhancement in development. These people say that the feature will allow iPad users to run and interact with two iPad applications at once. Up until now, each iPad application either developed by Apple or available on the App Store is only usable individually in a full-screen view."
