Wheee! TortoiseSVN indeed spoils us Windows users, as it's made version control so easy that...well...a Windows user can do it ;-)
If Windows had a decent command line / shell (has its suckyness improved

Win7?), I bet that TortoiseSVN had far less downloads... it simply is the only way to make SVN usable on Windows.
That or Cygwin. (git works well in Cygwin too. At my last workplace we made damn sure to put Cygwin on our few Windows servers with sshd running.) Cygwin made even command-line CVS usable.
Yup, cygwin is really cool... but you still need a proper GUI frontend. Windows's cmd simply sucks compared to e.g. xterm or konsole, which, of course, both can be run in cygwin. But getting X output via cygwin is a damn nightmare of a task. Marco
