  Your answer provides all the confirmation I needed.

  The MS FAQ carefully steps around addressing at least one of Peter's
  concerns. Let me see if I can describe a practical exmaple...

  Say I have a Quad-HD display (3840x2160) with my normal desktop stuff =
on it.

  It (or some component in the chain, such as the video card) does not =
have
  HDCP.

  I open a "protected" HD source in a window on the desktop in its =
native
  resolution (say, 1920x1080).

  I can expect the HD source to be displayed in a lower effective =
resolution,
  assuming it displays at all.

  Will the rest of my desktop be displayed in a lower resolution while =
the HD
  source plays?
