Microsoft wants you to connect all your account with your Windows 8.1 installation in other to give you all sorts of ‘useful information’. But what if you don’t want to know when people are having their birthday? Maybe because you don’t like people, or you feel your memory is in good state and you do not need such reminders from windows.
