I have a virtual Windows Vista installed, but I've never been able to get the virtual environment to recognize the USB ports.

Yeah, I'm pretty well-versed on the whole getting rid of drm thing.

One of my motivations for getting the Sony 900 was the fact that it can read non-drm epub.

When I bought my 900, I just logged into the Sony store on the device and it authorized it before I even hooked up to my computer.
Yeah, I did that last night through the wireless feature of the device. Have a sony and adobe account now. I haven't bought a book through them yet, but will be interesting to see if I can get the purchased book of the device and into calibre.
