much that i would like you to use LaTeX under Linux, it is quite possible
to run LaTeX under almost any operating system... (well, maybe not Palm
o/s yet).
while TeX/LaTeX comes standardly bundled with all flavours of Linux, it is
not bundled along with any of MSWindows systems. a good (free) and
easy-to-install implementation under MSWin is MikTeX (www.miktex.org).
Another free software for MSW is 4TeX (look under www.tug.org and search
for 4tex). Then there's good old emtex. look up
www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/msdos for emtex.
hope this helps.
