First, let me tell you that mercurial is a really great SCM tool. Even
though it is open source (or most likely because it is open source)
mercurial is probably the best in the world at what it does. You will not
go wrong if you choose it.

Using an open source program is not the same then using a commercial
program. There is no sales department that will do demos for you, but there
is no cost either :-)

That being said, there are companies that provide mercurial training and
consulting fit a price, such as Aragost Trifork. However I think that your
best bet may be to contact BitBucket or FogCreek. These companies provide
very good mercurial based SCM solutions. They may be able to do a demo for
you.

One last piece of advice: under no circumstances choose a tool called
ClearCase, nor one called Microsoft Team Foundation Server (also known add
TFS), nor Visual Source Safe. You may also hear about another own source
tool called "git". It is pretty popular and similar to mercurial, but IMHO
it is much, much harder to use than mercurial.

Cheers,

Angel
