"Remember those AOL CDs that came in the post every week? If you were daft enough to install one a search of the registry revealed AOL in a zillion places, even after uninstalling it!"

"As mentioned above, MS's collusion with Hollywood and DRM was their downfall. I want to be the admin of my own machine."

I find it far easier to bypass such DRM and find stuff that plays my content on Windows - Linux is quite often a real PITA to watch stuff on.
