	You just have to look at the name to see that it doesn't really 
work on Windows: it requires a Unix emulation layer (msys in your 
case, others do it with cygwin) which a lot of people won't want to 
install/use.

PS: I usually use Linux at home and Windows at work. I do have msys 
installed on the Windows machine and I don't consider it really 
usable (the only reason I have it is to compile open source 
autoconf-based packages). Mercurial (or Bazaar) work in a standard 
Windows command shell as well as inside a cygwin/msys shell or any 
of the alternative shells if you prefer.
