* Mounting images from a WIM file is not supported on Windows.
- * The LZX ("maximum") compression ratio is several percent worse than
- Microsoft's implementation.
-
However, wimlib-imagex provides a number of advantages compared to Microsoft's
ImageX, including but not limited to the following:
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") compression ratio than
- Microsoft's ImageX.
-
* 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, `wimlib-imagex capture' (or simply `wimcapture') defaults to
- maximum compression by default, 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.
