The rate at which apps are entering the Windows 8 Store has taken an upward turn, as the app store reaches the more than 5,000 apps milestone.

Earlier projections have suggested this will be reached only on launch day of the store on the 26th October.

The information is unofficial and is via WinAppUpdate, who tweeted the above information.

Microsoft has promised more than 100,000 apps by the end of the year, so we will be keeping a close eye on this curve and see if that projection will be realistic.
