 Emacs Prelude
 =============
 
-Emacs is probably the best text editor in the world. However, the
-process of coming up with a useful Emacs configuration is long and
-difficult. It's this process that separates you from truly taking
-advantage of Emacs's power. I like to refer to this process as the
-**Prelude**. **Emacs Prelude** has the goal to ease the initial Emacs
-setup process and to provide you with a much more powerful and
-productive experience than the one you get out of the box. By using
-**Emacs Prelude** you're basically getting a *"Get me out of the
-Prelude, I just want to use Emacs"* card.

-Emacs Prelude is compatible **ONLY with GNU Emacs 24.x**.
+Prelude is an Emacs distribution that aims to enhance the default
+Emacs experience.  Prelude alters a lot of the default settings,
+bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core
+library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs
+configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for
+Emacs power users.
