-PlayOnLinux is a piece of sofware which allows you to easily install
-and use numerous games and softwares designed to run with Microsoft's
-Windows. Few games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it
-certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system.
-PlayOnLinux brings an accessible and efficient solution to this
-problem, cost-free, and respectful of the free software.
+PlayOnLinux is a graphical front-end for Wine which automatically creates a
+prefix for the application you're trying to install. It manages its own wine
+versions internally, meaning you only have to have some version of Wine already
+already installed as a base and PlayOnLinux will automatically download and use
+whatever Wine version is necessary (which can also be specified by the user in the
+case of manual, unscripted installations). POL supports the use of installation
+scripts which are used to automatically install an application and configure Wine to
+work with that application. Dozens of official scripts for various games and
+software already exist, and the POL website has tutorials to instruct users on
+writing their own.
+
+For maximum performance and compatibility, PlayOnLinux should be run on a 32-bit
+system, or on a 64-bit system enabled for multilib, and 32-bit graphic libraries should be available.
