 Windows support
 ===============
 
-LLD has some experimental Windows support. When invoked as ``link.exe`` or with
+LLD supports Windows operating system. When invoked as ``lld-link.exe`` or with
 ``-flavor link``, the driver for Windows operating system is used to parse
 command line options, and it drives further linking processes. LLD accepts
 almost all command line options that the linker shipped with Microsoft Visual
 C++ (link.exe) supports.
 
-The current status is that LLD can link itself on Windows x86 using Visual C++
-2012 or 2013 as the compiler.

-Known issues
-============
-
-Note that LLD is still in early stage in development, so there are still many
-bugs. Here is a list of notable bugs.
-
-* Symbol name resolution from library files sometimes fails. On Windows, the
-  order of library files in command line does not matter, but LLD sometimes
-  fails to simulate the semantics. A workaround for it is to explicitly add
-  library files to command line with ``/DEFAULTLIB``.
-
-* Subsystem inference is not very reliable. Linker is supposed to set
-  ``subsystem`` field in the PE/COFF header according to entry function name,
-  but LLD sometimes ended up with ``unknown`` subsystem type. You need to give
-  ``/SUBSYSTEM`` option if it fails to infer it.
