Should we update this page?
XP is end-of-life since april
"256 Mbytes RAM (512 MB RAM recommended)" seems to be outdated also
These are supposed to be the minimal system requirements. Sure, most
people will run OpenOffice on a newer Windows version and with much more
RAM than that (and the same for Linux: most users will run it on a much
newer kernel).
But if OpenOffice runs on Windows XP and with 256 MBytes of RAM then this
should be the information listed there. no matter what the Microsoft policy
is.
I wonder though whether we should update the "recommended" RAM
requirements. Have there been any reasons/assumptions in recent version
that would justify a higher "recommended" value, like 1 GByte or more?

XP has reached end of life, but does this mean we should update this? If we
remove it and people are still using XP, then we'll get questions about it.
We might want to make a note about the "official" end of life on this OS,
however.
right, removing would produce more confusion because AOO 4.x stil lruns
on XP even when we don't do any active fixing for it. What about to add
a few words with a link to this webpage:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/endofsupport.aspx
A value of at least 512M for RAM might be in order. Does this 256M imply
*free* memory as opposed to total?
In summary, maybe leave the Win XP, but clarify the RAM.
I think when we write the following it should be clear and current enough:
Free memory of 256 Mbytes RAM (512 MB RAM recommended)
