Hi Bram, Yes that would be a good idea. As mentioned before, the Windows users are really at a disadvantage at times as its not a platform that's as tweakable as Linux. So giving a single drop file with all the goodies plus a zip file would be a great idea. Upgrade Check would be awesome. If it would work out, we would have an official version of "all inclusive" Vim, which would really be great.
On another note, I was just diffing some server side outputs that consisted of about 200 storage devices being checked side by side (before and after reboot). After that I had to do some search and replace. A colleague of mine who used to call me "crazy" for using Vim is now fervently downloading and learning Vim :). The search and replace really badly stumped and hooked him. Regards, Pritesh Ugrankar.
