I'd like to keep working with Palatino.
However, to answer your question, the Windows environment on the other side of my laptop is badly out of date and features MiKTeX 2.8 (which complains when trying to compile with XeTeX) and a broken Sweave installation (I still haven't figured what I managed to break when upgrading R). Since when using Windows I'm anyways mainly relying on TeXLive on Xubuntu on a Virtual Machine, I may just go haywire and experiment with LyX with TL on Windows. Regards Liviu
