So x86 contains both 32bit and 64bit aka x64. So saying x86 may mean either of the two. In fact it probably contains also 16bit and 8bit.
All the above as far as I know.

as far as Microsoft still using the the terms likes "Windows Vista, x86-based versions", "Download the update for Windows Vista x86-based versions",
i think that is understandable.
"Windows, Vista x86" site:support.microsoft.com - Google Search

or, if anyone want to enter the full Vista names and the edition names of the Vista you use, then you can now do that in the your profile.
or craig may want to make those changes again? i don't know.
