If this method succeeds, a new window is created next to the original window. It can only be called from an ASTA (core UI) thread.

The new window has its own UI thread (ASTA) and associated CoreWindow. Developers should use thread-safe methods for communication between the windows, such as window.postMessage for JavaScript apps and the CoreDispatcher (CoreWindow.Dispatcher) messaging for C# and C++ developers.
