    I’ve had some discussions on this and the technically not a bug.  DisplayPort isn’t approved for usage (dumb).  And the bug with the 2nd is that it works at all.

    I do have a Connect request to get DisplayPort working in W8 FWIW.  And I think it will go through, especially since it affects laptopstablets frequently and the push for tablets in W8.

    I guess DisplayPort not being approved (is this some goofy disagreement between the DP and HDMI people or something?) didn’t stop Dell from marketing their product as HDCP compatible, did it…

    And I’m kind of confused about why there would be a problem sending copy-freely content over an “unprotected” display connection?  I mean, there is no DRM protection on this content, so it can be copied, transcoded, re-muxed, saved, edited, uploaded to servers on the internet, archived, etc (copyright issues aside).  Why would anyone care if they could also be transmitted over a non-HDCP compliant connection?  Or is this a Cable Labs certification issue?

    Good to hear you have a connect request for W8 to fix.  It seems obvious to me they should fix it… without having their customers tell them.  Hopefully they will also look at the 29/59 bug too.  Sometimes I’m a little embarrassed that I used to work there.  Really.
