Solution 1

Just download vim for windows from http://www.vim.org -- on the installation it will ask if you want to create shortcuts for calling it from the command line. Then you can just vim <filename>.

Solution 2

Komodo has vi mode, eclipse has few vi plugins, using cygwin, or as Juan said go with gvim

      Would running vi under cygwin be an acceptable answer? Alternatively there is a cmd.exe version of vi, but I have not used it personally: vim.org/download.php#pc

      StackOverflow is not a search engine or link farm or a product recommendation site. This question, while it's about a programmer's editor, is not an appropriate question for SO.
