 Here is pretty convoluted test case:

 puts ENV["COMSPEC"] # => "C:\WINDOWS\system32\mycmd.exe"

 File.open("1.bat", "w") { |f| f.write("time") } # create test batch 
file with command which waits for user input

 Kernel.exec("1.bat") # now the process tree inspection shows that the 
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" is still used to interpret 1.bat
