MiKTeX is a TeX/LaTeX distribution for Microsoft Windows that is developed by Christian Schenk.
Significant features of MiKTeX are its ability to update itself by downloading new versions of previously installed components and packages, and an easy installation process. Additionally, it can ask the user whether he or she wishes to download any packages that have not yet been installed but are requested by the current document.
The current version of MiKTeX is 2.7 and is available at the MiKTeX homepage. A new feature in version 2.7 is integrated support for XeTeX. Version 2.7's features also include support for MetaPost and pdfTeX and compatibility with Windows Vista.
