Here's another tutorial on the same topic that shows how to snap up to 4 apps at once:  http://blog.laptopmag.com/windows-81-three-four-split-screen
... and if you prefer video tutorials, here's a nice YouTube that shows how to set up the Snap View windows:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coEUu1s185I

its funny

I am a power user in windows 7 and lower... and lost in the " where is it in windows 8.

after reading , I am still unsuccessful in using the info.

Most of you were right, it is the snap to feature... but  have not yet gotten it to work...
what is a modern App    vs    any other program ?
how can I have two sessions of remote desktop working side by side as I used to in my old friend " windows 7 "
What's the resolution of your display?    The Snap feature requires a minimum of 1366 x 768 to have 2 windows; and 1920 x 1080 to have 3.

thank you... it was so simple... but i just could not get it.  just sliding a window to the left or right border snaps it to a 50% monitor screen.   :)
