I have tried following things but could not work. Server LINUX RH 7.0
This is very old. Try RHEL 4 or FC6/7 or Ubuntu 6.06/7.04/...
cygwin at windows cygwin I downloaded from internet, seems to be a complete linux system that emulated linux on windows and it is quite heavy.
This doesn't look necessary for what you want to do.
What I want is a lite desktop that connects to linux server and shows me GVIM of linux on windows system.
I think you need something like VNC. http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi <partly-non-GPL> You need to run the vnc server on the Linux server and run vnc clients on the Windows machines. The vnc client gives access to the Linux desktop. </partly-non-GPL> FreeNX is also available. But I haven't tried it.
