(or if you can't take this off list) I work with xemacs (under cygwin) and yap (I can give you nice pointers on how to configure them so that you can get real WYSIWYG). I don't like Lyx, LaTeX is so nice and intuitive that IMHO you don't need something like that to stand in the way (I don't think LyX would even work with slides but maybe latest versions are different from what I know LyX to be). Look, I try to set up a group for help, discussion, etc. about (La)Tex under cygwin and Windows. If you join in you will automatically get all those pointers on how to set this up. The group is found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wintex/ (you need to have or create a Yahoo account to join) IMO no commercial package can come even nearer to what you can get with cygwin and miktex and all the other packages I mention in the document you can get when you join.
