The first fully supports HDCP and thus will play back any content fed to it by Windows Vista.
The second was not designed as an entertainment system. It was specifically designed for use in public places, with content generated by a business or organization. So complaining that it doesn't support HDCP is sort of beside the point. Do you expect to watch a Blu-ray movie in an airport waiting room or the lobby of a business?
(And anyway, that screen could play back a copy-protected disk. Just use the analog inputs.)
