-LyX is a modern approach of writing documents with a computer
-which breaks with the tradition of the obsolete typewriter
-concept. It is designed for people who want a professional
-output with a minimum of time and effort, without becoming specia-
-lists in typesetting. Compared to common word processors LyX
-will increase the productivity a lot, since most of the type-
-setting will be done by the computer, not the author. With LyX
-the author can concentrate on the contents of his writing,
-since the computer will take care of the look.

+LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
+based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
+is released under a Free Software/Open Source license (GPL v.2).
+
+LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
+right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
+details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with
+page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's
+legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
+
+On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output --
+or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks
+like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs,
+all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
+different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes
+'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
+
+LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
+internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
+Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
