Interesting -- I prefer the CHM (Windows helpfile), because it's internally indexed. I feel that the internal search is more convenient than external searches would be. But I suppose that there's room for reasonable people to disagree, here. :)
Sure, and I'd expect I'm in the minority.
I use Agent Ransack for searching files on my system. I do a search for, for example, a filename of html$ containing the word "socket" and can get a pretty good look at what I'm looking for.
I'll bet that the CHM file can do that at least as well, but since I use Agent Ransack for all my document searches (Python-related or otherwise), it's most convenient for me use one consistent mechanism.
I'll tell you, if Google desktop had a way of limiting searches to specific directories, I'd be in heaven.
How do you live without cygwin? Just 'cd' to the directory and 'grep -r' to search through it. It's the first thing I install on a windows box, even before python.

Hi all,
I like the html docs and Agent Ransack, too. (Not yet command line oriented.)
I've lately been making use of pydoc's html documentation server. I started when wanting to use it on my own modules; I've been finding it is really useful to use for quick reference on built ins, too.
Best,
