AFAIK, Windows Server 2008 was the last edition to support x86 arch. Also, Windows Server 2025 is the first one to support arm64 (currently insider preview).

I appreciate the change. The markdown files are generated from the JSON files using tools from https://github.com/richlander/distroessed/. I'm happy to them for you.

x86 is intended to mean 32-bit, either via native or WoW64. This raises the question of what we'll say for x64 w/rt macOS. Maybe you are right.

macOS: The x64 emulator (Rosetta 2) is supported on macOS Arm64.

That's probably a good model. We can consider WoW64 to be similar. And remove (when the time comes) x64 from macOS and x86 from Windows.

Fair?

Sounds good. Another possible direction could be to add a separate column for Processor vs. Process architecture (like how C# distinguishes them).
