The Clicker: Microsoft's OPM for the masses | |
|

With Longhorn, Microsoft will begin pushing opium. Well, technically its OPM. However, opium might be a good option for those livid that the video content being sent to their pristine 24-inch Dell LCD monitors is purposefully being fuzzied (more on that later). So what is OPM? The successor to Microsofts rarely-mentioned COPP (Certified Output Protection Protocol), PVP-OPM (Protected Video Path Output Protection Management) is the first play in Microsofts game plan to ensure that protected content stays protected. PVP-OPM performs two main functions. First, it detects the capabilities of the display devices attached to the computer. For instance, does the DVI LCD monitor that youre using have HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)? Second, it manages what, if anything, gets sent to those devices. | ||
