+wimlib-imagex provides most features of Microsoft's ImageX, plus additional
+features. Perhaps the main limitation is that mounting images from a WIM file
+is not supported on Windows. However, wimlib-imagex provides a number of
+advantages compared to Microsoft's ImageX, including but not limited to the
+following:
+
+ * 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 provides an easy-to-use "optimize" command to remove wasted
+ space from WIM files.
+
+ * In some cases, wimlib-imagex uses simpler command-line syntax. For
+ example, integrity tables are treated as persistent, and in some cases image
+ names need not be explicitly specified.
+
+ * Whenever possible, wimlib-imagex includes improved documentation and
+ informational output compared to Microsoft's software.
+
+ * On Windows, wimlib-imagex 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-imagex also supports ESD (.esd) files, except when encrypted. (These
+ use a newer version of the WIM file format.)
+
+ * wimlib and wimlib-imagex are free software, so you can modify and/or audit
+ the source code.
+
+ ADDITIONAL NOTES
+
+It's recommended to use wimlib-imagex in scripts to avoid having to
+interactively enter commands. However, note that wimlib-imagex is largely just
+a command-line front-end for wimlib, and it's possible to use wimlib's API in
+other front-ends or applications. Currently there is no official graphical user
+interface available for wimlib or wimlib-imagex. An unofficial Windows-only
+graphical user interface that provides a thin wrapper around wimlib-imagex can
+be downloaded at
+http://reboot.pro/files/file/485-wimlib-imagex-command-line-compiler/; however,
+as of 2014-03-23 it is still under development and is only released for testing.
