I think concentration should be on 4.2.0, working towards a Windows 64 version; 

Feedback from posters on the en-Forum indicates an increasing ignorance of 
computer skills on the part of many new users and their inability to cope with 
the difference between 32 and 64 bit versions.  It would give AOO a better 
public profile if a new release of A00 provided a 64 bit Windows version.  

The Ubuntu linux distro seriously considered abandoning 32 bit support 
entirely; they changed their mind recently, but the writing is on the wall for 
32 bit computers.  AOO should move with the times and fill their Windows 64 bit 
gap.

I use a 64 bit version on Xubuntu 18.04.3 so this does not impact on me.
