Windows 8 build 8888 (win8 gdr soc intel)

Windows 8 build 8888 (win8_gdr_soc_intel) is a build of Windows 8. This build was compiled less than one day before the RTM build. The x86 compile of this build was shared by KiTTY as a "Christmas present" on 24 December 2014. This build is an RTM candidate, but was rejected in favor of 9200 also due to the build number not being divisible by 16, a requirement that was only removed with the Windows 10 November Update. It is not much different from the retail version of 9200, other than the fact that it does not include any Modern apps apart from the Store and Internet Explorer. On 19 October 2018, the checked/debug x86 and x64 compiles of this build were shared.
