* complete: 1600 packages (fonts, macros, ...) are included
* living: packages are updated regularly (last update: 1/1/2008 )
* easy package management: missing packages can be installed automatically; a wizard helps you to keep
your MiKTeX system up-to-date
* fast previewing: the TeX output viewer Yap allows for an optimized edit-compile-view cycle (if the TeX authoring
system in use supports source specials)
* MiKTeX is open source

The MiKTeX distribution consists of the following components:

* TeX: the classic TeX compiler
* pdfTeX, XeTeX, Omega, NTS: various TeX variants
