Windows 8.0 with updates up to 2021-03

[mintel]

The title is self explainatory, it's a Windows 8.0 iso with updates up to 2021-03, but it doesn't include just updates, lolno.

Misc things included:
.NET 4.8 (yes, you heard that right, fully working .NET 4.8)
.NET 3.5/3.0/2.0 pre-enabled
Windows Embedded Foundation Packages (in case you want IE11 which is not included)
TLS 1.1 and 1.2 support on IE 10
C++ Runtimes (from 2005 all the way to 2019)

But you might be wondering: Why? Can't you just use 8.1?
1. Why not
2. Some might prefer 8.0 over 8.1

Might update this in a few months.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

8.0 is considerably easy to activate... erm, by alternate means. It's also far less aggressive to user mods, especially when it comes to branding files. I just had the most difficult time getting it updated to a later patch leve. This ISO will certainly see some usage here. Many thanks ^^

8.0 is faster than 8.1 on everything besides video playback or so I read. That and Intel HD 2000 (Sandy Bridge) doesn't seem to be properly certified for 8.1 but is for 8.0.

Is a 32bit version available? Might be incredibly useful for netbook users, as it probably runs nicer than 7 Starter (but worse than XP Home).

Some netbooks (like ones with an N455 CPU) can run this ISO since they have Intel 64. Most people disregard those useless paperweights entirely, so they usually head for a laptop that's most likely just as light and is significantly more powerful. Latitude E72xx laptops are known well for this. It's a nice idea, but I don't see much use for it.
