Software maker says Windows Phone 7 now has more than 11,000 applications and that rivals' figures are bogus.



From InformationWeek:

Microsoft said it's making big strides establishing Windows Phone 7 as a viable alternative to Apple's iPhone and Google Android-powered devices, and accused its rivals of inflating the number of applications available for their platforms by including questionable items in their tallies.
"What is an app? It's a question that really begs some scrutinizing," said Brandon Watson, Microsoft's Windows Phone director, in a blog post Thursday.
