[OS X TeX] A Wintel mate to TeXShop

[Alain Schremmer]

My schedule this semester means that I will have to spend some time in 
my office at school. So, I thought that I would use these hours on my 
magnum opus. But of course, all I have there is a wintel box. So, here 
is my question: what should I install/do there so that I can work on 
said magnum opus both home and in the office. Is there any kind of 
problem that I should expect or am I just my usual paranoid self and I 
should just download MikTeX and all shall be well in the best of all 
possible worlds?

Regards

P.S. Below is the preamble of the magnum opus.
