Yeah, vim's available for when you have to work on windows. Both native
win32/GDI and win32/cygwin/X11 versions :-)
My only use for windows at home is gaming (people give you funny looks
when you're editing game .ini files with vi, but hey), but at work I
have to keep an NT4 box running. Vi is your friend, especially in
recovery mode.
That said, give me vim (or gvim for coding) on a linux box anyday.
