Windows Vista requires HDCP support in both the LCD monitors
and graphics "cards" (not just GPUs).

As of today, neither ATI nor Nvidia's tier 1 board vendors offer Vista ready grafix,
only sony offers 2 OEM cards. only 10 LCD monitors support 1920 x 1080p HiDef resolution with HDCP.

that cool new monitor, and graphics card you just bought are already Vista obsolete.
