I loved Mercurial - still do I guess as I just installed it on the Linux Mint VM I keep around for messing with Linux. The thing I really liked about it was TortoiseHg, which provides integration between Mercurial and Windows Explorer. There is a similar TortoiseGit but, at least back when I was doing serious development, it had quite a few problems.
FWIW, as a recent user of TortoiseGit, it seems pretty decent nowadays.
That's what I expected - I was sure the Tortoise guys would get it right eventually.
