We still support 32-bit builds but we dropped support for XP and Vista, since these OSs are end-of-lifed. (The official website info was wrong, it should be updated now) If someone with development experience on Windows was interested, it would be possible to re-enable support, but obviously with each passing month the number of people still using these versions of Windows declines, and in general we are lacking people with Windows development experience contributing.
