Although I've never had to deal with Vista, previous versions of Windows had a "Resource Kit" available which includes vi. With some Vista versions you can install SUA (Subsystem for UNIX Applications) which includes tcsh and ksh with vi (packages for vim, emacs and other editors are also available). Even with straight Windows it makes no sense to use Microsoft's shells when JPSoft's are available.
