+<h2>General information for Octave on Windows</h2>
+<p>Octave is developed primarily on GNU/Linux. The programs and wrapper scripts
+bundled in this installer make a best effort to provide a seamless experience
+of Octave on Windows.<br />
+However, there are some (minor) limitations and idiosyncracies on that platform.
+Please, read the <a href="https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows">
+corresponding article</a> for further information and possible work-arounds.</p>
