I use both Ubuntu and Windows, and know many people who do the same.
On Windows, changing Vim to a newer compiled version is the easiest
thing to do, but the official package is indeed not very recent.
(And I, being conservative, have so far only relied on that version.
If most other people do like me – and why not, since this is the
version best promoted on Vim's download page – then this is the most
used Vim currently on Windows.)
Ubuntu, up to 10.10, appears to package Vim 7.2.330, and not the then
already current 7.3. Ubuntu 11.04 is with Vim 7.3.035 …
it appears that only 11.11 is recent enough to offer a Vim with a
version number ahead of its Windows counterpart. But, many people
avoid changing their o.s. every half year (too much of a headache),
so they, too, use an older Vim.
So, even if 'almost all' was a bit exaggerated, it was hardly totally
wrong ... Anyway, it seems that Ubuntu is currently catching up
in this respect, which is a good news if they keep doing so.
