Yes, unfortunately the + and * registers won't cooperate between
Cygwin and the Windows clipboard.
Some other approaches to making the Cygwin clipboard usable are
detailed here:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_the_Windows_clipboard_in_Cygwin_Vim
and there's a plug-in called "fakeclip" you might be interested in
here:

I'm not using Cygwin currently, but I remember being stumped by the
same issue when I was. Does anyone know if there are alternatives to
Cygwin that could give a Windows user a *nix command line that one
could access via Gvim, with a good set of utilities that would
integrate more easily with the Windows clipboard? I'm trying to avoid
Cygwin (too slow, and I found the installation a pain) but I've been
wanting to try to learn some bash scripting. Having a decent terminal
emulator would be a plus too -- is Cygwin my only option?
Thanks.
