For anybody who wants to read a detailed description of M$'s future DRM plans, check out this doc.

Here are a few of the 'highlights':
To work with PVP-OPM, a graphics card manufacturer must provide for the following:

• Output Protection Management capability on all board outputs—at a minimum, provide the ability to turn off every output.

• Device driver capability to report reliably about the board outputs and their settings.

• HDCP protection for DVI and HDMI outputs and Macrovision and CGMS-A protection on analog TV-out outputs. Otherwise, outputs will be turned off by the PVP-OPM software.

• The ability to pass video through a constrictor—that is, a downscaler followed by an upscaler—so that the information content of premium video can be reduced when an unprotected output such as analog VGA is present.
Intel’s HDCP protection is available for DVI, but is not always implemented by hardware manufacturers. HDCP is approved by the content industry, so DVI with HDCP is a great output solution for protected content.

In contrast, DVI without HDCP is definitely not liked by content owners, because it provides a pristine digital interface that can be captured cleanly. When playing premium content such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DVD, PVP-OPM will be required to turn off or constrict the quality of unprotected DVI. As a result, a regular DVI monitor will either get slightly fuzzy or go black, with a polite message explaining that it doesn’t meet security requirements.

VGA (Analog)

Analog VGA is the traditional way to connect a PC to a monitor, and consists of three analog RGB signals. There is no protection scheme available for analog VGA, and it is a high-resolution signal, so some content owners have significant concerns.

There have been some successes in getting content owners to make some allowances for this ubiquitous interface. Consumers would certainly be unhappy if it were immediately outlawed; so instead, many content owners are requiring that its resolution be constricted when certain types of premium content are being played. Eventually they may require that analog VGA outputs be turned off completely; but for the moment, it is possible to provide the necessary level of protection by constricting the information content.
