          <h3>Set Up</h3>
          <p>
            Download and install Vagrant within minutes on Mac OS X, Windows, or a popular distribution of Linux. No complicated setup process, just a simple to use OS-standard installer.
          </p>

          <hgroup>
          <h3>Configure</h3>
          <p>
            Create a single file for your project to describe the type of machine you want, the software that needs to be installed, and the way you want to access the machine. Store this file with your project code.
          </p>

          <hgroup>
          <h3>Work</h3>
          <p>
            Run a single command &mdash; "vagrant up" &mdash; and sit back as Vagrant puts together your complete development environment. Say goodbye to the "works on my machine" excuse as Vagrant creates identical development environments for everyone on your team.
