On Windows world, Mercurial still has the edge over Git, given the

This will eventually change given the recent endorsement Microsoft has

I find Git on Windows to be very nice actually. I just download
GitExtensions, which installs Git and KDiff and such, as well as an
awesome extension for Visual Studio. That extension is the best version
control IDE integration I've ever used. Git Extensions will also set git
up for command prompt, and optionally include tools like ssh-keygen so
you can use the command line as you would on Linux. Perhaps there was a
time that Windows support for Git was terrible, but I find it excellent
now.
For those who prefer Mercurial to Git (I used to be one but I've since
gone with the tide) there is a Mercurial extension
<http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgGit> which enables you to clone a
git repository with Mercurial and then do pushes, pulls etc with that
repository as if it were a Mercurial one. This means that you can use
github without having to learn git.
