I don't believe this has been answered.  First off, you can paste using
the middle mouse button.  If you have a two-button mouse, you can use the
-emulate3buttons flag to XWin (it might even be the default), and then
press the left and right buttons simultaneously.  Finally, if you want the
Windows clipboard, then ':!cat /dev/clipboard' works fine from within vim.
