-Because Microsoft designed the WIM file format to accomodate Windows-specific
-and NTFS-specific features, wimlib must have two separate image capture and
-application modes (although the \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@\fR subcommands for the modes are the
-same): one for general image capture and application, and one for the capture or
-application of an image specifically from/to an NTFS volume.

-Note: the above applies to UNIX builds. On the Windows builds of wimlib, there
-is only one image capture and application mode, similar to Microsoft's ImageX.

+Although \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@\fR is similar to Microsoft's implementation of
+ImageX, there are a number of key differences between the two programs:
+.IP \[bu] 6
+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@\fR is supported on both UNIX-based systems and Windows;
+thus, much functionality was designed around this.
+.IP \[bu]
+The command-line syntax of the two programs is similar but not exactly the same.

+As of wimlib v1.5.0, for convenience \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@\fR automatically
+preserves the integrity table in WIMs that have one, even when \fB--check\fR is
+not specified.
+.IP \[bu]
+As of wimlib v1.5.0, a special "pipable" WIM format that is not compatible with
+Microsoft's software is supported. This allows capturing and applying images
+directly to standard output or from standard input, respectively; this can be
+used to pipe images to or from a server over the network to implement fast
+filesystem imaging and restore.
