Specific platform version notes:
- Windows : OpenOffice may work on Windows , but we don’t test or recommend it.
- Windows XP: Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.
- Windows Vista: Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.
- Windows 7: Tested, stable.
- Windows 8: We run as a “desktop application”, not a Metro “App”. Requires x86 or bit Windows. We do not support Windows RT, the ARM-based version, intended for tablets.
Please note: Apache OpenOffice is distributed as a bit application. It will run successfully in bit mode on bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8. But in those cases a bit JVM is required for some functionality. Details are here.
