# .NET Core Runtime (CoreCLR)
-The coreclr repo contains the runtime implementation for [.NET Core](http://github.com/dotnet/core), also known as "CoreCLR". CoreCLR is used in ASP.NET 5 and is a subset of the .NET Framework CLR. You can learn more about CoreCLR and how and where you can use it in the [CoreCLR is Open Source][coreclr blog post] blog post.
+The coreclr repo contains the complete runtime implementation (called "CoreCLR") for [.NET Core](http://github.com/dotnet/core). It includes RyuJIT, the .NET GC, native interop and many other components. It builds and runs on Windows. You can 'watch' the repo to see Linux and Mac support being added over the next few months.
