Not sure what you mean by "dictionary" when it comes to a text editor. 
Spell check, maybe?

GVim is as good in Windows as it is in Unix and comes with spell check. 
  I tend to recommend 'cream' (http://cream.sf.net) to most Windows 
users when recommending gvim since it makes it just that much easier to use.

*Most* primarily Windows developers I know use PSPad.  It's 
"freeware"... not "free software" or open source.  Apparently it's 
pretty sweet, though.  I get a lot of "I bet vim can't do *this*" 
challenges from PSPad users.  Of course vim can do whatever it is they 
are talking about but that's besides the point.
