OpenOffice 3.4.1 is Compatible with Windows 8
I was running the Windows 8 Update advisor on my Windows XP SP3 Tablet PC to see what was incompatible with Windows 8. (I learned that the machine itself is incompatible - the processor chip does not have NX and Windows 8 will not install on it.)
But the prize, scrolling down the Compatibility List, was this:
Compatible
...
OpenOffice.org 3.4.1
Apache Software Foundation
Nice.

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

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.

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.
