is libreoffice 4.2.1 compatible with windows 8.1

Is this just a general question or are you experiencing some problem? If you have a problem please describe a problem in detail.

won’t download

I have Windows 8.1 on my computer and checked the system requirements for LibreOfficeStable. The requirements did not cover Windows 8.1, so before I download LO, I want to be sure it will work. If not, I’ll go purchase Microsoft Office…

Yes it is.

Actually in above web page there is just Windows 8 and no Windows 8.1 listed. As I see bug for this is already reported at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71690 but it looks like not being touched for a year.

So LO is NOT actually compatible with Windows 8.1?

I actually wanted to load the LO Stable version, which is 4.1.something…
