Windows Store, the primary and probably the only source of Windows 8 apps have been continuously getting new apps since its launch back in October.
Although, the app inventory in Store decreased in the last few months but, Microsoft has finally achieved a new milestone about Store. There are now more than 100,000 apps in Windows Store available globally.
Windows App Developers announced on the official Twitter account that the Store now has more than 100k apps in Store which is a huge milestone for Windows 8 and Microsoft.
Thanks for a great \\build! Just passed 100k apps in the Windows Store.

Microsoft has achieved this amazing milestone after about 7 months of Windows 8 launch but, still it’s a great milestone since, Windows Store is the only app store which got the most number of app on its launch.
Although, Microsoft anticipated 100k apps in the very first 3 months of launch of Windows 8 but, that mark couldn’t be achieved but, Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer expected 100k apps by July 2013 and here we have the announcement of 100k apps in Store.
This new milestone would be very critical for the newly launched Windows 8.1 which also takes advantage of the same Store and its apps but, Windows 8.1 provides far more better features than Windows 8 and one of them is the new snap sizes for multi-tasking.
Windows Store may have 100k apps available for downloaded but, not all the apps are worth downloading. Also, we are missing some popular app titles from Store like the Facebook, YouTube
