    I usually use Ubuntu on my laptop so I can use LaTeX (and other stuff), but I'm looking to ditch linux completely and go to 7 for all my hopes, dreams, wants and needs. Thus far the only issue I have is LaTeX. I know there's MikTeX, but I'm not impressed, anybody have any suggestions on good LaTeX compilers for windows? I just don't want to dual boot anymore, especially seeing how the only reason I have linux is now LaTeX, unless people can find more reasons for me to substantiate installing a linux partition as well, that might get me to keep it to i guess...

    BTW, I'm running it on my netbook, so live Cd's out of the question, and I'm not using a jumpdrive as a liveCD....

    Have you looked at Cygwin? Cygwin is a GNU environment for Windows. There should be LaTex tools available as part of the distribution. If not, you should be able to compile them.

    I dunno if you have already come across this, but I think this might help you. It's called Wubi. Also, as mentioned above cygwin is a great utility.
