+Introduction
+============
+
+This document contains instructions for installing and configuring the Data
+Plane Development Kit (DPDK) software. The document describes how to compile
+and run a DPDK application in a Windows* OS application environment, without
+going deeply into detail.
+
+\*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+DPDK for Windows is currently a work in progress. Not all DPDK source files
+compile. Support is being added in pieces so as to limit the overall scope
+of any individual patch series. The goal is to be able to run any DPDK
+application natively on Windows.
