Mercurial have robust Windows support for a long time. This support is native (not using cygwin) and handle properly all kind of strange corner case. We have large scale ecosystem (http://unity3d.com/) using Mercurial on windows.

We also have full featured GUI client http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/. It is actively developed by people who stay in touch with the Mercurial upstream so new feature tend to land in the GUI really fast.
