How many Metro Apps can be installed on Surface Pro 3

[cdf3]

The Surface Pro 3 is a hybrid device that allows us to download legacy Windows desktop apps, as well as Mobile/Metro apps.
I saw quite a few apps in the Store I would like to download.
I've used Android devices that would only allow me to download 4GB of apps, regardless of how much storage I had.
I think that has changed with the new versions of Android.
Since I've never owned a Windows tablet, I'm not sure how app storage works.
Do Metro/Mobile apps share the same storage as desktop apps?
I want to make sure I don't download too many apps that will in turn eat up memory, causing my device to run slow.

There is no limit imposed by the OS. You can install as much as you want as long as you still have drive space. The drive space is shared by desktop programs, apps, and files. You can balance that however you like. For the most part, apps and programs won't use memory (RAM) unless you have them open with the exception of desktop programs that are configured to run at startup. Auto-staring of programs can be managed in Windows Task Manager's "startup" tab.

Keep going until there isn't room on the SSD. Then compress, and add more!

Modern ones from the store, not officially at the most.
At the least, no.

Legacy desktop programs? They can go anywhere!
