Hi,

This is not quite true. One of the main bzr developers is a Windows guy, so
the user base is/will be large, far larger than only Ubuntu. A lot of
projects switched to bzr because of this. Honestly, I think that Hg and bzr
fill the same need, but bzr developement at the moment is fantastic. For a
still young product it is a good think (Hg is older).
One additional good think is that there is a Sourceforge-like site that uses
bzr ; launchpad.net. I don't know of something equivalent for Hg.

Just my two (euro) cents ;)
