Windows Store passes 50000 apps - VentureBeat

After five months on the market, Microsoft's Windows Store has surpassed 50,000 apps, according to MetroStore Scanner. The number of apps available is an indication of developer support, and it shows that the overall ecosystem is in a healthy state. If you remember when the Apple iTunes App Store surpassed 50,000, there was a lot of excitement about how it was a viable platform. Now, iOS has more than 821,438 active apps available. Of course, it would be nice to know how many of the Microsoft apps have been downloaded. Apple's downloads have surpassed 10 billion. Still, Microsoft is on its way to offering a third viable choice to Apple and Google's Google Play store. The timing of the milestone is nice, as Microsoft will be among the many companies pitching 23,000 attendees at next week's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHXoc24pfc4tvWFyc9U1t2jfBWqhg&url=http://venturebeat.com/2013/03/24/windows-store-passes-50000-apps/
