At this point, I won't put any effort into testing or supporting Windows 8.0. The same applies to Windows 7 without SP-1, or Windows XP without SP-3.

(BTW: Please don't post ultra-large screenshots as attachments. It breaks the layout.)
8.0 is better than 7 and 8.1 in various ways. It has a better DWM than 7, but without the activation system of 8.1. It can be easily modded to use the 7 explorer, while 8.1 has buggy start menu replacements. It has the better performance of 8.x without the telemetry updates of 8.1.

Also, about support, 8.0 Embedded gets support until 2023 as well, and 8.0 embedded updates work on regular 8.0.
