So best bet is OS X is going to be even worse than Windows in that respect.
Regarding the DRM issue, have a look at this article.

The article is from the bginning of August and there is a link at the bottom of the article pointing to Longhorn/Vista TPM. The link is broken but you can have a look at this

We are at number four in terms of paying upgrades to the OS, I've only paid for two, 10.1 and 10.3. Nothing forces you to upgrade, Apple still release security updates not only for the current .x version, and I can istall my copy of OS X on as many computers as I like (as long as it is only one at a time as the T&Cs state).
