What should you expect from the newest installation of Windows? Rumor has it that Windows 8.1 will not integrate Facebook and Flickr. So far rumors have been met with quite some opposition from those who prefer not to work on such “appcentric” systems. Only time will tell what the general consensus on the newest launch will be.
