-IXCoin Core is the original IXCoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.

-depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization
-process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
+Either via an ixcoin-win32-setup installer or by manually doing the
+following steps, you will need to Unpack the files into a directory and create
+a simple set of shortcuts in your START menu, on your desktop or in your toolbar,
+in order to run ixcoin-qt.exe whenever you need to use the network.  The
+installer also adds an uninstaller shortcut to your START menu list.
+
+IXCoin Core is the updated version of the original IXCoin client, it builds
+the backbone of the network, and now has many advanced features.  It does
+however, need to download and stores the entire history of IXCoin transactions;
+depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, that
+synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
+In order to expedite this process, we've created a current bootstrap.dat file,
+which when compressed, is a relatively small file of just over 150MB's in
+size.  For over 3 years/15 weeks of transaction history, that is really small.
+Place that in your newly initialized Ixcoin data directory and it will import
+nearly all the past transaction history in just a few minutes.
