Poor you. You escaped from Apple, and now you're stuck with Microsoft...

That's how I use gVim on Windows at work.

I don't think there's anything special, except for those plugins that
rely on Python or anything else (I have some Lua code which I can't
use on Windows because it requires a Lua library that I can't install
for some reason). The only thing I can see is to use the Cream
version, which has a full Vim up-to-date for Windows, unlike the Vim
for Windows downloadable from the Vim site, which often lags behind.

(Note: I don't use many plugins, so perhaps I'm missing something
important.)

Best,
Paul
