Windows 8 Store cracks 50K app mark, but now what? |
March 24, 2013
After a sluggish 2013 start, Microsoft's Window 8 App Store appears to be attracting new titles again.
The online outlet vaulted the 50,000 app mark Saturday, according to MetroStore Scanner, a website that unofficially monitors app activity at the Microsoft outlet.
That's a global number, so all those apps may not be available to U.S. users.
Since the high-profile launch of the Windows 8 Twitter app on March 13, only 49 new apps have hit the US version of the Windows Store. However, Metrostore Scanner—the tracking service this report is based on—shows that 3000-plus new apps have appeared globally during the same time frame.
