-<h1>About XVM</h1>
-
-<p>XVM is an experimental service from the <a href="http://sipb.mit.edu/">Student Information Processing Board</a> which attempts to provide members of the MIT community with an easy way to create virtual machines which they can remotely administer. You can see more information about the project at <a href="http://xvm.mit.edu">http://xvm.mit.edu</a>.</p>
-
-<p>When using XVM, please remember that, while VM disks are stored on a RAID, we do not back up data, so you shouldn't rely on XVM for data integrity.</p>
-
-<p>We hope you enjoy using and helping us test <a href="/">XVM</a>.</p>

+<h2>XVM does not feature:</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>backups of VM disk images; images are on a RAID, but you should
+ arrange your own backups for data that is important to you.</li>
+<li>guarantees of uptime or security; we are a best-effort volunteer
+ service, though we follow security and reliability best practices
+ shared by production SIPB services.</li>
