:)  I'm using Vista

Yeah I reinstalled gVim and sticking to whats already in the box, and I also
I made sure I have the _vimrc file =) thanks.

This feels so much better then netbeans. Netbeans felt so sluggish and slow.
It doesn't take years for my Vim to start, I also like that you can
customize short keys, and pretty much everything else. I think I made the
right decision by switching, I just hope in the future if I land a job, that
I won't be forced to use anything else besides Vim.

Thanks Guys
