security??
100,000 apps is senseless. As has been mentioned, how many clocks, birds, and flashlights do you need? Ahh, but maybe you're waiting for the flashlight app that, when lit, plays the William Tell Overture??
We need quality - which includes security - not quantity.
For example, bank apps: lots of them, yes, but the 'developers' are vague shadows. Their app gives full access to your account, and transmits your username and password (through them) in clear text. And offers you the option to store the u/p on your device so that when it's stolen, it makes someone very happy.
Flashlights? One got uninstalled very quickly when it was discovered it had full access to the device. Then, it allowed for the video to be turned on AND record ambient audio. A FLASHLIGHT? That little LED???
I no longer update apps and have cleaned the closet.
I don't know the security level of Win8 devices, but let's just say they're on the 'patch list.' Android is the most vulnerable system and that problem is expected to increase this year. They appear to have little or no control on developers or a check/balance system to insure an app is safe before distribution.
If Microsoft wanted a good advertising point for business users .. not the toy market .. they'd limit the total number of apps, check them (and the developer) before release and continue to monitor them, and advertise the heck out of that security feature. With some companies discussing the value of both BYOD and syncing all Win8 devices, that's a selling point.
