+# Microsoft Research Detours Package
+
+Detours is a software package for monitoring and instrumenting API calls on Windows. Detours
+has been used by many ISVs and is also used by product teams at Microsoft. Detours is now available under
+a standard open source license ([MIT](https://github.com/microsoft/Detours/blob/master/LICENSE.md)). This simplifies licensing for programmers using Detours
+and allows the community to support Detours using open source tools and processes.
+
+Detours is compatible with the Windows NT family of
+operating systems: Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7,
+Windows 8, and Windows 10. It cannot be used by Windows Store apps
+because Detours requires APIs not available to those applications.
+This repo contains the source code for version 4.0.1 of Detours.
+
+For technical documentation on Detours, see the [Detours Wiki](https://github.com/microsoft/Detours/wiki).
+For directions on how to build and run samples, see the
+samples [README.txt](https://github.com/Microsoft/Detours/blob/master/samples/README.TXT) file.
