Component downrezzing is supported in XP, so there is no reason to believe it won't be supported in Vista. Grab a video card that has a component out and try to play a macrovsion protected DVD over 480P. It will not play unless you hack the macrovision. Which isn't hard but it is neccesary.
Movies protected with AACS will be downrezzed over component. It will be interesting to see if the same holds true for VGA.
