When MS does their format shitting there is usually a month while open source players (like mplayer) catch up before I can play it. DRM is the exception. So far I've only run into on one video and the band is not getting my $ to watch a fucking promotional video.
Linux is much easier these days. Most the trouble comes in partitioning (which Windows doesn't even do because it is either installed or wipes everything (benefit of a monopoly)) but now the hardware support is better than with windows (no more digging for driver dis[c|k]s)!
