-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label syswin32</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>(Modern) Windows systems</h3>
-<p/>Windows users nowadays have a real choice, between two excellent
-distributions, MiKTeX and TeX Live. TeX Live on windows has
-only in recent years been a real challenger to the long-established
-MiKTeX, and even now MiKTeX has features that TeX Live lacks,
-while TeX Live offers a <a href="FAQ-luatex.html">LuaTeX</a> implementation,
-which MiKTeX lacks (though it is present in MiKTeX 2.9, in
-beta-release at the time of writing). Both are comprehensive
-distributions, offering all the established TeX variants (TeX,
-PDFTeX &#8212; both with e-TeX variants &#8212; and XeTeX), together
-with a wide range of support tools.
-<p/>Both MiKTeX and TeX Live offer management tools, including the
-means of keeping an installation &#8220;up-to-date&#8221;, by reinstalling
-packages that have been updated on CTAN (the delay between a
-package update appearing, and it being available to the distribution
-users) can be as short as a day (and is never very long).
-<p/>MiKTeX, by Christian Schenk, is the longer-established of the pair,
-and has a large audience of satisfied users; TeX Live is the
-dominant distribution in use in the world of Unix-like systems, and so
-its Windows version may be expected to appeal to those who use both
-Unix-like and Windows systems. The latest release of MiKTeX &#8212;
-version 2.9, still in beta release at the time of writing &#8212; requires
-Windows XP, or later; it does not work on Windows 2000 or earlier.
-<p/>Both distributions may be used in a configuration which involves no
-installation at all. MiKTeX&#8217;s &#8220;portable&#8221; distribution may be
-unpacked on a memory stick, and used on any windows computer without
-making any direct use of the hard drive. The web page
-<a href="http://www.tug.org/texlive/portable.html">TeX Live portable usage</a>
-describes the options for installing TeX Live on a memory stick, or
-for using the TeX Live DVD with no installation at all.
-<p/>Both MiKTeX and TeX Live may be downloaded and installed, package
-by package, over the net. This is a mammoth undertaking, only to be
-undertaken by those with a good network connection (and a patient
-disposition!).
-<p/>A ready-to-run copy of the MiKTeX distribution,
-on DVD may be bought via the
-<a href="http://www.miktex.org/cd/">MiKTeX web site</a>. MiKTeX may
-also be installed using ProTeXt, on the
-<a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Collection DVD</a>.
-<p/>The <a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Collection DVD</a> also provides an
-offline installer for TeX Live.
-<p/><a href="http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/xemtex/">XEmTeX</a>, by
-Fabrice Popineau (he who created the excellent, but now defunct,
-fpTeX distribution), is another integrated distribution of TeX,
-LaTeX, ConTeXt, <i>XEmacs</i> and other friends for Windows.
-All programs have been compiled natively to take the best advantage of
-the Windows environment. Configuration is provided so that the
-resulting set of programs runs out-of-the-box, but the distribution is
-not actively promoted.

-<p/>A further (free) option is available thanks to the
-<a href="http://www.cygwin.com">CygWin bundle</a>, which presents a
-Unix-like environment in Windows systems (and also provides an
-X-windows server). The (now obsolete) teTeX distribution is
-provided as part of the CygWin distribution, but there is a CygWin
-build of TeX Live so you can have a current TeX system. TeX
-under CygWin is reputedly somewhat slower than native Win32
-implementations such as MiKTeX, and of course the TeX
-applications behave like Unix-system applications.
-<p/>BaKoMa TeX, by Basil Malyshev, is a comprehensive (shareware)
-distribution, which focuses on support of Acrobat. The distribution
-comes with a bunch of Type 1 fonts packaged to work with BaKoMa
-TeX, which further the focus.
