 wimlib-imagex provides most features of Microsoft's ImageX, plus additional
-features.  First, the main limitations of wimlib-imagex compared to Microsoft's
-ImageX are the following:
-
-  * Mounting images from a WIM file is not supported on Windows.
-
-  * The LZX ("maximum") compression ratio is several percent worse than
-    Microsoft's implementation.

   * wimlib-imagex provides "extract" and "update" commands that can be used to

     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

-Currently there is no graphical user interface available for wimlib or
