-- wimlib can be freely distributed; there is no need to download a 1.8 gigabyte
- "Windows Automated Installation Kit".
-- wimlib offers fast multithreaded compression, so making WIM images can be much
- faster.
-- wimlib is free software, so you can modify and/or audit the source code.
+ * Mounting WIM files is not supported on Windows.
+
+ * The LZX ("maximum") compression ratio is several percent worse that
+ Microsoft's implementation.
+
+However, wimlib-imagex provides a number of advantages compared to Microsoft's
+ImageX:
+
+ * wimlib-imagex provides "extract" and "update" commands that can be used to
+ work around the lack of mount support. These commands are very fast
+ compared to mounting and unmounting images with Microsoft's ImageX, so you
+ may prefer them anyway.
+
+ * wimlib-imagex offers fast multithreaded compression, so making WIM images
+ can be much faster.
+
+ * wimlib-imagex provides a better XPRESS ("fast", or default compression)
+ compression ratio than Microsoft's ImageX.
+
+ * wimlib-imagex provides an easy-to-use "optimize" command to remove wasted
+ space from WIM files.
+
+ * Whenever possible I have included improved documentation and informational
+ output compared to Microsoft's software.
+
+ * wimlib can correctly save and restore some combinations of data that
+ Microsoft's ImageX runs into bugs on --- for example, uncompressed files in
+ compressed directories, or files with alternate data streams and multiple
+ hard links.
+
+ * wimlib is free software, so you can modify and/or audit the source code.
+
+ ADDITIONAL NOTES
+
+Currently there is no graphical user interface available for wimlib or
+wimlib-imagex and I do not plan to make one. It's recommended to use
+wimlib-imagex in scripts to avoid having to interactively enter commands.
