This I know

Just that there is nowhere a list of versions (yeah, not always the newest is the best) and major changes (like the change from w2k to XP, or from 8.1 to 10).

I remember vaguely that I have read some years ago that some older windowses won't be supported for there is a change in QT or something. There is also the issue of 32 vs 64b (or even 16b).

This information is missing from that page. What if one has w98? Well, I do and I won't run calibre onto it, but the question remains. I have a laptop with w2k, which will maybe be downgraded to eReader (and eCreator

) towards its last days....
