Windows 8 Released for Manufacturers on 1st August,while the developers and the Technet subscribers got the operating system on 15th August.
At that time the Store had around 470 apps in the Windows Store which is the app store for Windows 8 Applications for Modern UI.Within a week of that the Windows Store has reached 665 apps,with almost 200 apps(195 to be precise)being added within a weeks span,considering that Windows 8 hit RTM for developers 2 weeks after the manufacturers its still a good number.Though the growth is not astounding or anything but still its early days,since the public release of Windows 8 is still 2 months away.So by the time it hits public release we can expect a good number of apps and games in the kitty.
It is still critical decision for developers to make,since they don’t know how much will be the propagation of the new ecosystem and that if the users will adopt the Windows 8 based tablets and ultrabooks coming from various manufacturers like Dell,HP,Samsung,Acer,Asus and Microsoft itself and the future of Windows 8 will certainly depend upon the Windows Stores app quality as well as quantity,since the major competitor Apple has tons of Apps in its App Store which are specifically made for iPad.
