Completely aware of the enterprise implication, but it's somewhat of a disappoint that with all that peripheral support, they could have at least dropped a courtesy single link DVI-I interface instead. It just smells like a decision driven to explicitly avoid paying out licensing royalties.

And pray tell, what would drive the digital part of the DVI? The video source has only analog VGA output available, so you can technically use a DVI-A connector, but pretty much nothing used them.

And while DVI/HDMI signaling is pretty much VGA-but-analog, recovering digital stream out of analog VGA signal would make no sense.
