This seems like a willfully context-blind reading.

The table above lists Windows versions for which support has been 
discontinued, which includes "All 32-bit".

Further, https://cygwin.com/ plainly states "The Cygwin DLL currently 
works with all recent, commercially released x86_64 versions of Windows 
...", which seems pretty unambiguous.


Suggestions on how to improve this obviously welcomed. (but I'm not a 
big fan of "put fact A in place X as well as place Y, so people who 
ignored it in place Y because it didn't fit there priors can continue to 
ignore it in place X as well.")
