If today I wanted to use a version control system and were working
with Windows workstations, I would much rather employ Subversion as
the version control repository, and TurtleSVN as the Windows interface
to it. TurtleSVN integrates well with Windows Explorer, making
checkout and commit a right-click action.

In fact, that is what I have on my Windows box now for much of my own work.

Subversion will run on a Windows box, a Linux box, or other UNIX
variants or even on OS/400.

There are related projects, too, that include issue tracking (Scarab);

http://subversion.tigris.org/
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

Of course, you'd have to put up with not paying anything for any of this...
