A benefit of Hg that is not immediately obvious is that since it is based on Python, an Hg installation is assured to have a high-quality scripting language available (i.e. Python). Hg is easily extensible. This should help with automating tasks (both build and version-control related) without encountering the problem that Windows does not come with a portable scripting language.
As a huge Python admirer and one who does most of my cross-platform development on Windows using ToirtoiseSVN (command-line svn on Mac and Linux), Hg sounds pretty cool, though I hadn't ever heard of it.
