I don't know much about Vista, but this sounds to me like one more
instance of "Vista paranoia". System32 is a "system directory" and I
suspect that not everyone or every application can create files there.
Maybe your cmd.exe shell (wherein you ran vim.exe) hadn't got enough
privileges to access system directories?
