What Radar could not check

Exact disk space after installing: Radar's range of 358 MB to about 1 GB is estimated from the installer size, not measured on a real install
How well complex Word, Excel and PowerPoint files keep their layout
Whether optional features you use need Java installed separately; the README only mentions Java for building the program
The macOS and Linux downloads, since Radar only looked at the Windows installer
