Can Win32 programs run on the xbox? I know there's Edge, but iirc, that's packaged in some unique way.

I thought all xboxes were x86 hardware running some variant of windows under the hood?

I'm pretty sure the shared applications it's referring to there are UWP apps, which use a different set of APIs to traditional Win32 apps that are only available on full Windows versions. I looked into how Edge works a bit more, and it sounds like Microsoft made a special translation layer to take Edge's Win32 API calls and turn them into UWP ones. I guess games would be possible to run like this too?
