Hi..This is Michael Arthur.
Once upon a time, and even as recently as Windows 7, you could download software programs from virtually anywhere, or get them on CD or DVD. Windows 8 is more like Windows Phone (or iTunes App Store) in that the only place you can get apps for it is their own gated service, the Microsoft Store.
This, of course, means that the number and quality of the apps in the Store is important to users. Microsoft vets all apps before they’re allowed to be offered, which should mean they’re malware free and functional. As for numbers, the company has refused to say more than asserting the quantity is larger than that of any previous OS at launch. However, third party website WinAppUpdate.com says that on launch day, the number exceeded 9,000, almost double the quantity it saw just a week before. Developers are going gangbusters.
Thank you,
Regards,
