This decision was received with great surprise because since Microsoft has always opted for this type of integration between the operating system and applications beyond their control, allowing users to share their content through "apps" outside.
No wonder that Windows 8 users display upset with this decision. And, so far, Facebook and Flickr were the two most commonly used applications for sharing photos because of the ease and speed that provided the integration of the two social networks within the operating system.
Given the avalanche of criticism following the news, an employee of the company has indicated that these changes are due to "file uploads to both services will be from" ad hoc apps "as the official app launch new Facebook". That, in short, means that the user will touch use the applications you want to share your pictures without being able to do it from the same Windows image viewer.
In addition, new photo application Windows 8 will bring new features like the ability to edit and organize images easily without the need for other programs.
