Re: [libreoffice-users] Which was the last version of LO able to run on Win XP?

hi.
i use windows xp and love my windows version.
from the plan of libreoffice developers i realized that libreoffice
6.0.0 and later does not support xp or vista.
i use version 5.3.4.1 forever and love it very much.
hope that help, God bless you!
