When I was still on Windows, I had a full Cygwin installation. Starting Cygwin bash added Cygwin /bin (and /usr/bin which is a softlink to /bin) at the start of the $PATH. The result was that Windows Vim (installed, at the time, in %VIM%\vim64) came first in the %PATH% when invoking vim or gvim from cmd.exe, while Cygwin Vim (i.e. /bin/vim) came first in the $PATH when invoking vim from bash.
