Re: OpenOffice 3.4.1 is Compatible with Windows 8
I use OO on a couple of windows 8 machines (one clean install, one upgrade from Win 7). I've experienced no problems. Touch is a problem, as you would imagine it is for most apps designed for Win7. One of the things MS applcations do is provide a touch mode. This simply puts larger margins around the main interface widgets (all of a sudden the larger space in the ribbon make sense). Far from perfect but quite effective. When doing the UI for 4.0 it might be good to add such a feature. Sent from my tablet On Dec 14, 2012 4:37 AM, Dennis E.

Re: OpenOffice 3.4.1 is Compatible with Windows 8
Are any of the machines based on windows8 RT ? I am looking into buying a surface tablet, and would of course love to have AOO running on it. Jan.

No it will not run on RT. This is not unique to AOO, no desktop apps will run on RT.

Hi 2012/12/14 Ross Gardler rgard...@opendirective.com: When doing the UI for 4.0 it might be good to add such a feature. The trend will be ahead in technology. Albino
