Vim 7.something under (MS) Windows 7.

I want to do the equivalent of:

:!start http://something

But that doesn't work.

You need to put a space after `!':
    :! start http://something

Non-blocking:
    :sil ! start http://something

If you put double quotes around the argument, these will be used for the title:
    :sil ! start "http://something";
(opens a console) thus you will want to use
    :sil ! start "title" "http://something";
then.

As probably mentioned already, there is more info under
    :h :!start

This *does* work, but it is ugly (and opens lots of command prompt windows and requries a 
few "press any key to continues"s.  Also, it seems to run CMD twice - i.e., you 
end up running:

cmd /c cmd /c start ...

:!cmd /c start http://something

I seek a simpler and, ideally, seamless (i.e., no "press any key"s) way.

See above :-)
