Not if they load on start-up
From the article:
But applications that are automatically loaded on start-up--such as an antivirus program or Microsoft's MSN Messenger--will not add to the count, Dosios told CNETAsia: "The limit only applies to programs that the user calls out. So far, we have not received any complaints from beta users on this issue."

I wonder if this is some kind of imposed limitation, that the system is capable of handling more applications, but a control has been programmed. If so, it might be hacked.
