I've not used the UI so I can't comment on that. But the reason it only works with Windows is not UI-related. It's about DRM and copyrights. I blogged about this in Copyfight.
Original piece: <http://copyfight.corante.com/archives/2007/02/15/bbc_signs_on_to_msft_drm.php> Followup after the BBC Trust issued its decision in May: <http://copyfight.corante.com/archives/2007/05/07/bbc_trust_issues_drmdownload_decisions.php> Short form: the mass of stuff in the BBC archive is a veritable swamp of who-knows-what rights and license terms. The BBC wanted a simple umbrella to cover the whole thing and found only Microsoft's solution covered the bases they wanted. Nobody much liked it and they're supposed to revisit the issue soon.
