Yeah, it's an XP VM for $SIDE_JOB. Though it is nice to be able to
test things on a Win32 machine (even if it's ancient and unsupported
now). At home, it's the year-old 7.3.547 that is stock with Debian
Stable which helps me better gauge whether an issue on the XP box is
fixed in more recent versions.

Though of new features since 7.x, I wouldn't miss most of them in my
day-to-day usage of vim except for new quotation/tag text objects,
internal vimgrep, and spell-checking. There are a couple other new
things that are nice to have, but I get along fine without them. I
thought I'd use 'relativenumber' more, but found it too distracting
to use regularly; and "conceal" sounds promising, but haven't gotten
around to learning it.
