According to MetroStore Scanner statistics, the number of apps in the Windows Store app store has exceeded 60,000 so far, and only half a month ago, this number was only half a month ago. Just broke through 50,000. This means that Win8 application development has entered a peak development period.
It is reported that the end of October 8 to November of Windows 8 released is the first peak of Win8 application development, with an average of 468 applications in development every day, and 412 in December. However, in the first two months of 2013, there has been a significant decline, with an average of less than 200 application developments per day, and it has not entered the growth period until March.
The surge in Win8 applications also proves that Microsoft's series of stimulus policies have worked.
