The $100-per-app bounty was clearly an embarrassment.

What kind of apps did they think to get with this? Some more fart apps? Cause that is about as complex an app as you can get by spending 100 bucks on a developer.

100 bucks gets you between 1 or 2 hours of a freelancers time. There is not really that much that could be done in that time frame.

Either MS was completely naive when setting that bounty or they of course realized that this would just help inflating the total app numbers in the store. Better not mention how many of those are pure crap when boasting about how much the app store has grown in the next press release etc.
