+<p>JBoss 5 is the next generation of the JBoss Application Server build on top 
+of the new <a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/jbossmc">JBoss Microcontainer</a>. 
+The JBoss Microcontainer is a lightweight container for managing POJOs, their 
+deployment, configuration and lifecycle. It is a standalone project that 
+replaces the famous JBoss JMX Microkernel of the 3.x and 4.x JBoss series, and 
+it has excellent integration with the JBoss framework for Aspect Oriented 
+Programming, <a href="http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossaop">JBoss AOP</a>. 
+Support for JMX in JBoss 5 remains strong and MBean services written against the 
+old Microkernel are expected to work.</p>
+<p>JBoss5 is designed around the advanced concept of a
+<a href="http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBoss5DeploymentFramework">
+Virtual Deployment Framework</a> (VDF), that takes the aspect oriented design of 
+many of the earlier JBoss containers and applies it to the deployment layer. 
+Aspectized Deployers operate in a chain over a
+<a href="http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBoss5VirtualFileSystem">
+Virtual File System</a> (VFS), analyze deployments and produce metadata to be 
+used by the JBoss Microcontainer, which in turn instantiates and wires together 
+the various pieces of a deployment, controlling their lifecycle and 
+dependencies.</p>
+<p>Many key key features of JBoss 5 are provided by integrating other standalone 
+JBoss projects:</p>
+<ul>
+	<li><a href="http://labs.jboss.org/portal/jbossejb3">JBoss EJB3</a> included 
+	with JBoss 5 provides the implementation of the latest revision of the 
+	Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) specification. EJB 3.0 is a deep overhaul and 
+	simplification of the EJB specification. EJB 3.0's goals are to simplify 
+	development, facilitate a test driven approach, and focus more on writing 
+	plain old java objects (POJOs) rather than coding against complex EJB APIs.</li>
+	<li><a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/messaging">JBoss Messaging</a> is 
+	a high performance JMS provider in the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Stack 
+	(JEMS), included with JBoss 5 as the default messaging provider. It is also 
+	the backbone of the <a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/esb">JBoss ESB</a> 
+	infrastructure. JBoss Messaging is a complete rewrite of JBossMQ, which is 
+	the current default JMS provider for the JBoss AS 4.x series.</li>
+	<li><a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/jbosscache">JBossCache</a> 2.0 
+	that comes in two flavors. A traditional tree-structured node-based cache 
+	and a
+	<a href="http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbosscache/freezone/docs/2.0.0/PojoCache/en/html/index.html">
+	PojoCache</a>, an in-memory, transactional, and replicated cache system that 
+	allows users to operate on simple POJOs transparently without active user 
+	management of either replication or persistency aspects.</li>
+	<li><a href="http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossws">JBossWS 2</a> is the web 
+	services stack for JBoss 5 providing Java EE compatible web services, 
+	JAXWS-2.0 and JAXB-2.0.</li>
+	<li><a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/transactions">JBoss Transactions</a> 
+	is the default transaction manager for JBoss 5. JBoss Transactions is 
+	founded on industry proven technology and 18 year history as a leader in 
+	distributed transactions, and is one of the most interoperable 
+	implementations available.</li>
+	<li><a href="http://www.jboss.com/products/jbossweb">JBoss Web</a> is the 
+	Web container in JBoss 5, an implementation based on Apache Tomcat that 
+	includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) and Tomcat native technologies to 
+	achieve scalability and performance characteristics that match and exceed 
+	the Apache Http server.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>JBoss 5 includes numerous features and bug fixes, many of them carried over 
+upstream from the 4.x codebase. See the <a href="#Details">Detailed Release Notes</a> 
 section for the full details.</p>
