Microsoft didn't make a lot of waves at Mobile World Congress this week but TechCrunch has spotted a little-reported detail from its MWC presentation that shows how Microsoft's Windows Store has made some very strong gains over just the past six months. At MWC this week Microsoft said that Windows Store is now serving 4 million app downloads a day, which TechCrunch estimates is a 135% increase from the 1.7 million daily downloads it averaged this past October. This is extremely impressive growth, especially when you consider that Apple's App Store last year was averaging daily download volumes in the 5.5 million to 6 million range. If Windows Store's numbers keep growing like they have been then Microsoft should have much less trouble getting app developers to sign onto its platforms going forward.
