Windows Store Reaches 50,000 Apps
After only 5 months on the market, Microsoft’s Windows Store has surpassed the 50,000 apps benchmark. The number of apps available is an indication of developer support, and it shows that the overall ecosystem is in a healthy state, at least that’s what MetroStore Scanner says. While this is still only a fraction of the number of apps available on either the Apple App Store or the Google Play store, with over 820,000 apps to date, 50,000 just doesn’t generate the same kind of excitement it used to.
While Microsoft continues on their way to offer a third viable choice to Apple and the Google Play store, it won’t be a walk in the park. Last week Blackberry announced that they had officially reached 100,000 Apps right before their US launch.
