I know you have Ubuntu installed, but if you've spent any time using it, you can't deny that Windows is no where near as customizable as Gnome or KDE. I know all about changing themes in Windows, but that doesn't compare to the freedom you have in Linux to customize pretty much anything about the UI. That is one of the benefits of using a Linux OS.

It's not the hardware level DRM that is a pain. It's the DRM in music and video media that people have a problem with. And according to Wikipedia's article on DRM, Windows Vista does incorporate DRM systems.

Microsoft's Windows Vista contains a DRM system called the Protected Media Path, which contains the Protected Video Path (PVP). PVP tries to stop DRM-restricted content from playing while unsigned software is running in order to prevent the unsigned software from accessing the content. Additionally, PVP can encrypt information during transmission to the monitor or the graphics card, which makes it more difficult to make unauthorized recordings.
