Convince me of the benefits.

We develop for Windows and I haven't yet seen a compelling implementation of any DVCS that brings the speed and experience that would be expected (yes, we also use TortoiseSVN) as well as the integration into the tools we use (CruiseControl .Net, Target Process).

I'm happy to consider something else, but we have something that works and works well. We've had no issues with Subversion and the support for it in other tools is phenomenal.

We also bring in contractors occasionally, and it's great to know that they will be instantly comfortable with Subversion, the same is not true of DVCS yet.

I'm sure we can fulfil the basic working requirements fine with DVCS, but I can't see much in the way of benefits for moving away from a working solution with wide support to something else... especially when in the Windows world it would greatly reduce the experience the developers and contractors have.
