You probably have a .vimrc on Cygwin, and the same or /etc/vimrc on Linux.

The real question:

Why vim on Cygwin doesn't install, or use if you add one, /etc/vimrc?

On Linux I have one with the following contents (which fixes the
thread problem):

" Begin /etc/vimrc

set nocompatible
set backspace=2
syntax on
set background=dark
if (&term == "iterm") || (&term == "putty")
  set background=dark
endif

" End /etc/vimrc

The 5th line doesn't work with the version installed on Cygwin, so you
have to comment it; but it would be nice to also have syntax highlighting.
