I actually use a combination of OS X, Linux and Windows, but Windows is the most important.

Git was initially designed without much regard for use on Windows. Mercurial was built to be multi-platform from the start. This gave Mercurial an edge over Git on Windows, but as far as I’ve heard, the difference is mostly or completely gone and you might consider other criteria to base your choice on.
FWIW, I haven’t seen any problems using Mercurial on GNU/Linux and WinXP.
