WHwNRV Absolute

WHwNRV Absolute is a Minderian WHwNRV Update kit created by CompactStar in August 2022. It aims to have as many versions as possible and take the WHwNRV video length world record from Cosmo Squire's WHwNRV. It is inspired by WHwNRV Everything. WHwNRV Absolute is a pack but there are also videos uploaded. This includes not only Windows but other OSes and OEMs as well.
== History ==
=== Before development start ===
* A WHwNRV Absolute-like kit named "The Comprehensive WHwNRV" was first thought of by CompactStar in mid-2021. This kit has a (now most likely deleted) version list planning spreadsheet created by CompactStar with Qreed2008 as an editor and CreateSource suggesting some ideas. There is heavy outsourcing from SuperWindows78's TLWHTAHES video. 
* TCWHwNRV ends up not getting past planning stage and is cancelled due to lack of interest.
=== September 2022 release ===
* WHwNRV Absolute is conceived sometime in August 2022 when CompactStar wants revive TCWHwNRV idea. 
* A Discord server for the kit is created under the name "Ultra-definitve WHwNRV" but this name is quickly scrapped in favor of the current name "WHwNRV Absolute". 
* The icon of WHwNRV Absolute is chosen as a white Windows 1.x logo similar to WHwNRV Everything which is a white Windows 95 logo.
* A new planning doc sheet is created for the kit similar to the old TCWHwNRV sheet.
* CompactStars creates a YouTube channel for WHwNRV Absolute for uploading preview videos.
* Some users join the server such as TheLogoEditer, Qreed2008, and Sons Vegito. CompactStar starts producing far past pre-1985 screens for the kit based on pre-reset WHwNRV Everything Windows 1B BC layers.
* It is decided through a poll that WHwNRV Absolute will adopt a monthly release cycle so next release in September.
* The first video on the WHwNRV Absolute YouTube channel, titled WHwNRV Absolute (2022-09 full demo) (PREVIEW), is uploaded, showcasing a few far past screens.
* The kit is reset due to switching to TLE's U5 Extension layers, although due to being so early in development, very little was lost.
* Some sporadic post-1985 versions are added because of contributions from other users, such as "Windows Tally", a remake from a version from Leaf 6, and SpiritOS n versions by Sons Vegito.
* The first version of WHwNRV Absolute is complete at the very end of September 2022, using GIMP remakes of U5/U5E layers, with a showcasing video for it as well. This is very early, only totaling to 2 minutes, with not even all the pre-1985 versions in U5/U5E being included yet.
