Using the X window system, highlighting text puts it in the PRIMARY selection. On windows, highlighting text does nothing. Using the X window system, highlighting text then pressing CTRL-C puts the content into the CLIPBOARD selection. On windows, though, that action puts the text into the PRIMARY selection. vim, just like emacs, is an old software using old paradigms. They use their own buffers to copy and paste content, unrelated to the X window system. They can be made to store the text to an external buffer though. xterm doesn't have CTRL-C because that shortcut can potentially be used by the terminal itself. (i.e. will kill the running process.)
