Thank you for giving me the opportunity to justify the labeling as x86. It is true that most users would not even notice if they were working with a 64 or 32 bit AOO, were it not for the question of Java. For exactly this reason the marking x86 is meaningful for the user because an omission does not lead to the fact that the user does not notice anything, but he gets real problems if he does not know that he must install the JRE in 32 bit. Incidentally, the concealment that the Windows version is 32 bit also creates the impression that this could be intentional, to conceal a vacancy - exactly so the whole thing has already been commented in the forum.
