+### Cross-interpretation: running for different targets
+
+Miri can not only run a binary or test suite for your host target, it can also
+perform cross-interpretation for arbitrary foreign targets: `cargo miri run
+--target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` will run your program as if it was a Linux
+program, no matter your host OS.  This is particularly useful if you are using
+Windows, as the Linux target is much better supported than Windows targets.
+
+You can also use this to test platforms with different properties than your host
+platform.  For example `cargo miri test --target mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64`
+will run your test suite on a big-endian target, which is useful for testing
+endian-sensitive code.

 ### Running Miri on CI
 
 To run Miri on CI, make sure that you handle the case where the latest nightly
