Re: is MikTex 2.8 stable enough to replace 2.7?

I moved to 2.8 and it has gone fine.

The only problem I had is that 2.8 is even less linked in to WinEdt
than 2.7 was.  With 2.7 the WinEdt update button stopped working and I
had to update directly through MiKTeX, and with 2.8 the same happened
with the file name updater.  (The technical reason seems to be that
the WinEdt fndb updater does individual mode fndb update.  But
individual mode does not work even for an individual user, you have to
use administrative mode, and WinEdt can't access that mode.)

MiKTeX 2.8 seems designed to work with TeXworks more than with WinEdt,
and includes TeXworks.
