This data, collected by MetroStore Scanner, indicates that since December 27th 5,000 applications have been added to the Windows Store in Windows 8. On a per day basis, Windows 8 is therefore accreting around 156 apps per day. That number is a bit of a misnomer, as all but no apps are approved on Mondays, and Sundays are slow as well.
That rate is down sharply from the 14,557 apps that Windows 8 collected in the 35 days preceding the 35,000 app mark reached in late December. At that point, Windows 8 was collecting applications at a rate of 415 per day.
Windows 8 Store exceeds 40,000 apps mark
