Dan, thanks for your quick response to my question. As I understand your reply, OOo 2.1.x will run under Windows 98SE/Me/NT4/2000/XP. If I have understood you correctly, both the download page and the system requirements pages are in error, as the download page does not include Win9x/Me and the system requirements page does not include WinNT4.
Please correct me if I've misunderstood. This being the case, please pass these comments to the Webmaster or whoever is responsible for maintaining those pages so they can be corrected. Thanks again! Mike On 1/19/07, Dan Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Actually OOo will run on Win 98SE or later. I have it running on a Win 98SE partition. The major problem is having enough RAM, fast enough CPU (Pentium class), and harddrive space (~300 MB). > 2) If WinNT4 is supported under 2.1, does 2.0 run it as well? OOo 2.1 runs on the same platforms as 2.0, and this includes everything from Win 98SE to the present. > 3) If Win9x/Me are not supported under 2.1, what is the last > version that does?
