set clipboard=autoselect,on windows os, it is not by default

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On windows OS, vim in normal mode, to change the next text line: 

a_golf_ball - > - > - > - > |___________| -

to:

            - > - > - > - > |a_golf_ball| -

using 9 keystrokes:

ver *R<C-R>*<Esc>

2.On Windows, by default, these keystrokes does nothing.

3.But under the X11, with vim using the default settings, changing the line 
works !

What is the expected output? 

To change the line.

What do you see instead?

On windows it does nothing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I found this for windows OS: 
Changing the clipboard parameter using the command 

:set clipboard=autoselect 

before modifying the line it works also on windows OS.

As documented in the help for 'clipboard', this is expected behavior.  The 
'clipboard' option's defaults are those that mimic the typical behavior of 
applications on those OSes, not those that best suit vimgolf.
