Significantly decreased the rate of adding new apps
Nearly two weeks after the official launch of Windows 8, the online store operating surpassed 13,000 applications.
The Microsoft originally intended to put surpass the 10,000 applications the time of presentation, but this failed.
On October 25, the Windows Store had a few more than 9,000 applications and eight days later, he announced that WinAppUpdate surpassed 10,000 applications, calculating how each day about 500 new became available.
The pace but he seems to have fallen significantly since according to the calculations of TNW, each day added to Windows Store 362 new applications.
This means that if you keep up this pace, every month the Windows Store will "grow" in 10.000 apps, arriving in the festive season of 20,000 and 30,000 by the end of the year.
The important thing also is that not all applications are available in all regions and all languages of the market, as indicated by the WinAppUpdate, the number of "quality" applications from well-known companies or developers are still very small.
The 13,000 applications within two weeks is not limited, this number is a good start for the operating system. The thing is that even though the holidays until the Windows Store surpassed 30,000 applications, will not mean anything if the most important and quality of these represent a small percentage of that number.
Naturally estimates that Keith Lorenzo about 100,000 apps in the first quarter of the marketing of Windows 8 now considered too optimistic. Unless Microsoft is able in the coming months to provide incentives to developers to attract large numbers of them in the OS.
