as we now all know HDMI/HDCP is just another M$/Intel "MONOPOLIZATION" of hardware according to their own stooopid STANDARDS.
In other words, its jealous M$ trying to keep any Linux/UNIX off of your desktop.
This is yet another M$ VISTA ploy to force you to have only their HDMI/HDCP compliant hardware. -mmmm. In fact, you won't be able to watch HD-DVD movies without it -on Vista !
Are these "OPEN-Standards" as they all should have been ?-similar to DVI ? No. and thats really too bad.

When will you people understand this !!!

"...secret weapon..." ? yaa my rats' patuchi to that.!
