Windows Vista. The reason is that LyX uses the library Qt 5.6 for the user
interface which no longer supports Windows Vista.</p>
+"<p>The Windows binaries for the new LyX versions 2.2.x will not run under
Windows Vista. LyX has for several versions now depended exclusively upon the
+<a href=\"https://www.qt.io/\";>Qt libraries</a>
+and as of 2.2.0 requires Qt 5.6, which no longer supports Windows Vista.</p>
<p>Users of Vista who need to collaborate with people using LyX 2.2.x may
download LyX 2.1.5 (to be released shortly). LyX 2.1.5 will run on Vista and is
able to read LyX files created/saved with LyX 2.2.x.</p>
<p>Since Microsoft's support with security fixes for Vista ends in April 2017,
an update to an operating system that provides long-term support, such as
<a href=\"http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop\";>Ubuntu<a/>, might be
considered.</p>");
