It should have the same limitations as any other operating system if you solely work with physical volumes - 4 primary partitions on MBR, unlimited on GPT (though Windows will limit it to 128).
Otherwise, if you use something like LVM, it would be unlimited logical partitions, across a single disk or multiple disks.

How many partitions can be created in Linux?
This depends on the age of the kernel being used, the type of drive, and the software used to partition the drive. Older Linux systems had a limit of 63 partitions for IDE drives and 15 for SCSI. Kernels before around 2.6.28.5 that used libATA limited all drives to 15 partitions. Experimentation with more recent kernels indicates a limit around 130 partitions per drive. Many partitioning programs available for Linux are still limited to 63 partitions or less.

How many partitions do dynamic disks have?
Partitions are not something that are the same from drive to drive, or from computer to computer. Partitions are created by the user from unused hard drive space, and have no set size, although there is a relatively small minimum. This means that even one one disk, a user can create literally dozens, if not hundreds.
How many partitions are created automatically in Linux?
It doesn't create anything automatically - it usually creates them based on how the user wants it to be configured. For the most part, you will have around 2-3 partitions for a basic "everything in one partition" setup (a /boot partition, optionally an ESP if you are using UEFI, and a root partition).
How may partitions are on a computer system?
Depends, you can make as many partitions as you want.
What is the maximum number of partitions required to dual-boot Windows XP and Windows Vista?
The minimum number of partitions needed to dual boot windows xp and windows vista is actually 2, one for each operating system. However, if your computer was bought and it already had one of those two systems preinstalled and with it a separate windows recovery partition as well as a system reserved partition, then your minimum in that case would be 4 priamry partitions (which also happens to be the maximum allowed if you are using strictly primary partitions. One way to have more than 4 primary partitions is to have one of those partitions become an extended partition which can in turn have as many partitions as you need. I hope that wasn't too confusing
How many partition can create hard disk 1500gb?

How many partitions do you need to install Windows and Linux?
Technically, only two or three. In some distributions its even possible to install all in one partition, but I don't recommend this. These days it's hard on BIOS computers to get all the partitions you want, since between Windows and your OEM you'll have three out of four of your partitions used, you'll need to set up an extended partition. Unless you're on UEFI! In which case you're golden.
