-                    Pivot applications are written using a combination of Java and XML and can be
-                    run either as an applet or as a standalone (optionally offline) desktop
-                    application. Pivot includes features that make building modern GUI applications
-                    much easier, including declarative UI, data binding, effects and transitions,
-                    and web services integration.
+                    Pivot is the only RIA framework that enables developers to build applications
+                    for the Java platform using Java or any other JVM scripting language, such as
+                    JavaScript, Groovy, or Scala. Pivot is also the only truly open RIA framework:
+                    it is completely open source, and is driven entirely by the software
+                    development community.<br/><br/>

+                <p>
+                    Pivot allows developers to work with the tools and APIs they already know,
+                    reducing technology sprawl and streamlining solution technology stacks.
