+============
+
+Xwt is a new .NET framework for creating desktop applications that run
+on multiple platforms from the same codebase. Xwt works by exposing
+one unified API across all environments that is mapped to a set of
+native controls on each platform.
+
+This means that Xwt tends to focus on providing controls that will
+work across all platforms. However, that doesn't mean that the
+functionality available is a common denominator of all platforms.
+If a specific feature or widget is not available in the
+native framework of a platform, it will be emulated or implemented
+as a set of native widgets.
+
