GVim works quite well with Powershell. I used it heavily a year ago when I was on a console crusade.

Put this in your $profile and you can open it just by calling "vim":

Set-Alias vim "C:\Utilities\vim74\vim.exe"

Both powershell and the dos prompt still go through the console. It's quite amazing to have Vim running in a native Windows prompt but when you use it full time the little things start to get to you.
