That is exactly what I did. I wrote literally: "there was currently in the forum the case of a user who believed AOO was also available for Windows as 64Bit." Actually unnecessary to explain this on a Developers(!) mailing list, but I did that too: "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."
