+     "@code{open-vm-tools} is a set of services and modules that enable several
+features in VMware products for better management of, and seamless user
+interactions with, guests.  It includes kernel modules for enhancing the
+performance of virtual machines running Linux or other VMware supported Unix
+like guest operating systems.
+
+@code{open-vm-tools} enables the following features in VMware products:
+
+@itemize
+@item The ability to perform virtual machine power operations gracefully.
+@item Execution of VMware provided or user configured scripts in guests during
+various power operations.
+@item The ability to run programs, commands and file system operation in guests
+to enhance guest automation.
+@item Authentication for guest operations.
+@item Periodic collection of network, disk, and memory usage information from
+the guest.
+@item Generation of heartbeat from guests to hosts so VMware's HA solution can
+determine guests' availability.
+@item Clock synchronization between guests and hosts or client desktops.
+@item Quiescing guest file systems to allow hosts to capture
+file-system-consistent guest snapshots.
+@item Execution of pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts while quiescing guest file
+systems.
+@item The ability to customize guest operating systems immediately after
+powering on virtual machines.
+@item Enabling shared folders between host and guest file systems on VMware
+Workstation and VMware Fusion.
+@item Copying and pasting text, graphics, and files between guests and hosts or
+client desktops.
