Trick question. If I hit Alt-tab on my main desktop, it shows a total of 21 different windows, but 5 of these are RDP windows into other systems, each of which having many more of their own.

There's no reason for that count to be any less "at close of business". The whole mess is kept running 24/7, and when machines reboot (after a forced update or some-such), they're set up to reload as much of what was already running as possible.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
