Rumor is that the new Windows 10X will abandon win32 support in favor of web apps and networked/streamed apps

That would be alright. 32bit support was dropped within the Linux kernel was dropped a while back iirc.

I think here it's being used like an expression for x86

The linux kernel still supports 32bit. They dropped support for Intel's 386 processor in 2012. Maybe that's what came to your mind.

In this example, I believe it's referring to all x86 apps for windows
