 Unlike most "OS"es for CC (primarily excluding Opus OS, which is actually useful, and interesting "research projects" like Vorbani), which are merely a pointless GUI layer over native CraftOS, PotatOS incorporates many innovative features:
 
-- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output (UPDATE: no longer available)/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)
-- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast
-- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!
-- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.
-- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).
-- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")
-- Potatoplex and Loading, both very useful programs, built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!
-- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)
-- Remote debugging access for, er, development and stuff (secured, via ECC signing on debugging disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one). Totally not backdoors.
-- All this ~~useless random junk~~ USEFUL FUNCTIONALITY can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!
-- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!
-- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.
+- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output (UPDATE: no longer available)/Chuck Norris jokes on boot
+- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by trivially killing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast.
+- Skynet (a cross-server cross-platform modem replacement using websockets) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!
+- Convenient APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading" without the hassle of `parallel` but with weird unresolved problems.
+- The features you've come to love from other CC OSes, like passwords and fake loading screens, but tightly integrated and built with the standard potatOS quality and attention to detail (`est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time]`, `est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]`).
+- Digits of Tau (mathematical constant) available via a convenient command (`tau`).
+- Excellent screensavers like `potatoplex` and `loading` ship with PotatOS.
+- Stack traces on errors (yes, I did take the implementation from MBS).
+- Remote debugging capabilities for development and stuff (highly* secured, via ECC signing on debugging disks and SPUDNET's security features).
+- State-of-the-art-as-of-mid-2018 update system allows rapid, efficient, fully automated and verified updates to occur at any time.
+- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by putting it in the disk drive of any potatOS device! EZCopy is unfortunately disabled on some servers.
+- Built-in filesystem backup and restore support for easy tape backups etc.
 - Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser and "BlahOS") for your own safety.
-- Fully-featured process manager. Very fully-featured. No existing code uses most of the features.
+- Fully-featured coroutine-based process manager. Very fully-featured. No existing code uses most of the features.
 - Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.
-- Connects to SPUDNET.
+- Connects to SPUDNET, unlike OSes which do not connect to SPUDNET.
 - Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.
-- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!
-- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.
-- A recycle bin.
-- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.
-- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.
-- The PotatOS Registry - Like the Windows one, but better. Edit its contents with "est" (that is not a typo'd "set").
-- A window manager. It's bundled, at least. Not actually *tested*. Like most of the bundled programs.
-- 5rot26 encryption program.
-- A license information viewing program!
-- "b", a command to print the alphabet.
-- A command to view the source of any potatOS function.
-- Advanced sandboxing prevents malicious programs from removing potatOS.
+- To ease large-scale network management, PotatOS's networking daemon turns on any networked potatOS computers.
+- Improves connected signs, if Plethora Peripherals is installed.
+- Recycle bin capability stops accidental loss of files.
+- `exorcise` command, which is like delete but better.
+- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum integrated into the OS.
+- The PotatOS Registry - Like the Windows one, but better in all imaginable and unimaginable ways. Edit and view its contents with the `est` command.
+- Window manager shipped. I forgot what it is and how to use it.
+- Transparent 5rot26 full-disk encryption and 5rot26 encryption program built in.
+- The [PotatOS Privacy Policy](https://potatos.madefor.cc/privacy/).
+- `b`, a command to print the alphabet.
+- A useful command to view the source of any potatOS function exists.
+- Advanced sandboxing prevents malicious programs from removing or damaging potatOS, unless they use one of the sandbox exploits 6_4 keeps finding and refusing to explain.
 - Reimplements the string metatable bug!
-- A frontend for tryhaskell.org - yes, really...
-- Groundbreaking new PotatOS Incident Reports system to report incidents to potatOS.
+- [TryHaskell](https://tryhaskell.org/) frontend built in.
+- Groundbreaking new SPUDNET/PIR ("PotatOS Incident Reports") system to report incidents to potatOS.
 - Might be GDPR-compliant!
-- Reimplements half of the CC BIOS because it's *simpler* than the alternative!
+- Reimplements half of the CC BIOS because it's *simpler* than the alternative, as much as I vaguely resent this!
 - Contains between 0 and 1041058 exploits. Estimation of more precise values is still in progress.
-- Now organized using "folder" technology and developed in an IDE! Also now has a build process, but no minification.
+- Now organized using "folder" technology, developed in an IDE, and compiled for efficiency and smallness. Debugging symbols are available on request.
 - Integrated logging mechanism for debugging.
-- Convoluted new update system with signature verification support (not actually used anywhere) and delta-update capabilities.
