Big step for Facebook.

It is "supported" in the biggest operating system.

Microsoft and Facebook have always been buddies for a while, so it's nothing really new. But yea, that is a powerful alliance! The social king and the software king united!

The sooner people more away from FB the better.
And it's nice to know that people that work for MS that actually KNOW how FB operates do not support it and are completely against it.
