Question #77037 on vim in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+question/77037

mohan43u posted a new comment:
I'm currently using the following workaround
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/235439/vim-80-column-layout-
concerns), this will make any characters going beyond 80th column to
appear in red.

~/.vimrc:

" Setting color highlighting for column=80
highlight OverLength ctermbg=red ctermfg=white guibg=#592929
match OverLength /\%81v.*/

But its a simple setting in previous 'vi' to achieve what I wanted..
