LaTeX editor for windows
Although I am happy with vim as a general editor, I prefer to use a specific editor for LaTeX (mostly for quick reference and selective compilation). In past, I have tried TeXnicCenter and WinEdt -- the latter remained my favorite for being lightweight and more integrated with MikTeX (from a usability perspective). I finally got annoyed by the incessant bugging message to register the product (as the trial version expired long ago). So I am trying LEd (http://www.latexeditor.org/ ) -- its looking pretty good so far. The interface is pretty messy though.

lyx(www.lyx.org)is also one more option.
Works okay for me.
LyX is not a LaTeX editor; it is more of a WYSIWYG word processor. Although you can convert to/from LaTeX, I never liked it. I guess it is a matter of choice: just like vim vs. emacs.
I use Texmaker (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/) and it seems quite good.
I second Hideberto. I use Texmaker for both windows and linux, and TexShop on the mac (texmaker port to mac os is not as good).
It doesn't seem to have the direct preview thing in latex-editor, but if you have a pdf viewer that refreshes automatically, it should not be a problem.
