For Me Calibre 2.0 is also OK. There is something about MY system that allows it to work.
P4 2.4GHz 2G RAM
No MS Office? (I use Libre Office)
MY A/V?
(I use Windows FireWall)
The model of my Graphics cards? (not a shared ram model)
There are just too many variables for Kovid to risk his hair over  |
I know that Qt is large and that calbre and Sigil wont use the same subsets - I wrote that in my post, here it is again, slightly reworded

I appreciate that Qt is large and that calibre will use Qt features that Sigil doesn't and perhaps vice-versa. But it would helpful to know I'm curious about broadly what it is in Qt that prevents calibre working on XP.

Graphics card maybe - but MS v Libre Office, AVG v Avast, MS v Comodo firewall, that's stretching some pretty long bows, why not Photoshop versus The Gimp or what side of the Pond you're on
I'm also curious about why any discussion of this issue is taken by some as a personal attack on Kovid, of course he has right to withdraw support for XP, or anything else. But when it comes as a surprise, even I suspect to Kovid himself, its bound to engender discussion that ought not be stifled by name calling and churlishly dismissing peoples contributions thereto.
This shall be my last contribution on the matter, your Grace!
