The October prediction of 100,000 apps in 90 days was reasonable at the time. However, who would have thought that there would be so many tech critics writing, what I consider base less or at least exaggerated denigrating reviews of Windows 8. I will concede that concerns by IT about the missing start button is an issue. Also, there were negative comments by readers that had not used Windows 8, but in an effort to protect their favorite OS did write negative comments. All of which I'm sure did not go unnoticed by app developers. I do feel that as Windows 8 use increases that RT type app development will increase accordingly. Windows 8 is a new OS paradigm, which creates a change related drag, but not an insurmountable drag.
