<h3>Release Notes</h3>
-<p>WinGRASS is a GRASS Development Team project, with the goal of creating a Microsoft Windows native binary port of GRASS.</p>
+<p>
+WinGRASS is a project of the GRASS Development Team with the goal of
+creating a native Microsoft Windows version of the GRASS software.
+For the past two and a half decades GRASS has primarily been written
+for and run on high powered UNIX workstations. Refitting the
+software's approximately one million lines of source code to run
+smoothly on Windows has been no mean feat and has taken a few years
+of development effort.
+</p>
-<p>WinGRASS is an experimental project, hence it can't be considered a complete and fully
-working release of GRASS for Windows. Some features are missing (see <a href="#Missing Modules">Missing Modules</a> section
-in this document), some known bugs still need to be fixed (see <a href="#Known Issues">Known Issues</a> section) and other
-features may not work.</p>

+in this document), some known bugs still need to be fixed
+(see <a href="#Known_Issues">Known Issues</a> section), and other
+features may not work yet. Nevertheless, we are quite proud of the
+progress that has been made and it is our goal that the 6.4.0 release
+be a useable and useful tool to all GIS users regardless of their
+chosen computer platform.
