I use vi under XP all the time. Here are my settings:
:set
--- Options ---
background=dark isprint=@,129-255 scroll=11 term=cygwin
nocompatible laststatus=2 shell=/bin/sh visualbell
incsearch ruler shiftwidth=2 nowrapscan
formatoptions=tcroq
shortmess=filnxtToOI
If you wish, I could also email you the output of ':set all' off-list...
HTH,
Igor
