Storage: At least 650 Mbytes available disk space for a default install via download.Memory: Minimum 256 Mbytes RAM (512 MB RAM recommended).Hardware demands are quite modest and even older machines should be able to run OpenOffice:

But in those cases a 32-bit JVM is required for some functionality. It will run successfully in 32-bit mode on 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8 and 10. Please note: Apache OpenOffice is distributed as a 32-bit application. We do not support Windows RT, the ARM-based version, intended for tablets. Windows 8, 10: We run as a “desktop application”, not a Metro “App”.Windows Vista: Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.Windows XP: Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.Windows 2000: OpenOffice may work on Windows 2000, but we don’t test or recommend it.The current Apache OpenOffice supports Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Well, presumably the Linux users are better educated and going straight for the modern and more maintained LibreOffice.Apache OpenOffice for Windows Windows Version Support Interestingly the numbers they published on the blog put it at 297 million downloads by Windows users, 31 million downloads by macOS users, and just 4.7 million downloads by Linux users. This number also doesn't take into account the SourceForge mirror downloads and the like, so the actual number is even higher. The Apache Software Foundation announced on Tuesday that there have now been more than 333 million downloads of Apache OpenOffice since they took over this open-source office suite in 2011. But the brand still has some presence and users discovering it when searching for open-source office software or free alternatives to the likes of Microsoft Office. Apache OpenOffice has seen little new feature development and at times has struggled to be maintained and keep up with security vulnerabilities, etc. This week the Apache Software Foundation is celebrating more than 333 million downloads of their open-source office suite.īack in 2011 the OpenOffice code was donated to the Apache Software Foundation and unfortunately hasn't exactly flourished over the past decade. While Apache OpenOffice development is rather stagnant, many of the original developers left for LibreOffice long ago, and LibreOffice has been delivering far more modern features and functionality, people continue to download OpenOffice.
