Excellent! I was just wishing someone made something like this the other day after feeling that using Latex on Windows 7 was a subpar experience to what I was used to on Ubuntu.

Can you expand on what you thought was subpar about using Latex on Windows 7? I use Latex almost exclusively and for such an obscure (compared to Office) document publishing system, Latex has some pretty amazing tools available for Windows.
If you go the full IDE path you have TeXnicCenter, WinEdt, and LEd.
If you go text editor path you have your favorite editor to write the source and latexmk to automatically build when the source file changes.
Combine your favorite way of writing with MiKTex for the core program and package management and you have a bulletproof way of using Latex in Windows.
