pip vs python -m pip?

64-bit Python 3.6.8 running on Windows with a virtual environment activated.

"pip -v" reports 19.0.3
"python -m pip" reports 19.1.1

Is this behavior by design or a bug?

My takeaway is that its better to run "python -m pip ..." vs "pip ..." when running pip related tasks.

Thoughts?
