None of the current ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards will support the full capabilities of Windows Vista. So what did MS develop Vista on? A Solaris Workstation?

According to
Wiki:
The following requirement is not applicable to beta 1, but has widely been reported to be applicable to the final version. Display: Protected high-definition digital content, such as next-generation HD DVD movies, is intentionally displayed fuzzy unless viewed on a High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)-compatible monitor. Very few existing displays and no retail video cards are compliant with this standard. [6][7][8]
That's probably how they managed to work around it. Also, it seems that it should be fairly straight forward to write an emulator for this HDCP chip. IE trick the OS into checking a piece of code for this HDCP key instead of a built in chip. Similar to spoofing cd rom drives and bypassing the current anti piracy stuff.
