    Which way do you want it to look? It looks like in Ubuntu you are using font anti-aliasing while in Windows8 you are using ClearType mode instead...

Besides the answer given by Ingo, note that starting from Patch 7.4.393 Vim on Windows let's you tweak the font rendering by setting the 'renderoptions'
