MikTeX now (as of 2.7) includes XeTeX, and it works wonderfully. I've completely dropped pdflatex in favor of xelatex and I doubt I'll look back anytime soon.<br><br>Perhaps that would be the easiest choice, based on whatever your needs are. I don't actually know the difference between a direct XeTeX port and what MikTeX provides, I just know that what MikTeX provides is all I'm likely to need for a while.
