I'll second this - works well, easy to learn and free. The issue (for ALL tools like this) is the infrastructure - you need enough client horsepower to really stress your site. Solo Windows workstations tend to be too limited (in allowable connections, resource management, etc) to really put up much of a fight. For example I think that Windows XP is limited to 10 concurrent connections - not enough to really stress a big box. To really test things out you should run multiple clients each mimicking multiple clients - if you have a spare big box you can use virtualization software to do this.
