Apple has just announced that its Mac App Store has now topped the 100 million download mark, less than a year after its launch.

While it is still a far cry from Apple’s App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod, currently sitting at over 18 billion app downloads, Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Philip Schiller, said it is a great achievement in such a short space of time.

“In just three years the App Store changed how people get mobile apps, and now the Mac App Store is changing the traditional PC software industry,” he said.

“With more than 100 million downloads in less than a year, the Mac App Store is the largest and fastest growing PC software store in the world.”
