Openoffice for Windows 8

Could you advise me if Openoffice is able to operate on Windows 8. I am wanting to download Apache Openoffice to my new laptop which operates on Windows 8. At the moment I am unable to find a source which will allow the download.

Hi there,

OpenOffice works perfectly well on Win 8, I've been using it with Win 8 
since Oct 30, 2012, only a few days after Win 8 became available.

"Yes. Although Microsoft Windows 8 was only in preview when we released 
Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1, subsequent testing and user feedback has been 
positive, and no incompatibilities have emerged so far.  Note: 
OpenOffice runs as a desktop application on the x86 or x64 platforms. 
We don't support Windows RT or the Metro UI."
