 Since mainstream and extended support for Windows Vista has ended on April 10, 2012 and April 11, 2017 respectively, plans to enable the Protected Video Path for Windows Vista is very unlikely.Around the time of its release, Microsoft stated, "nearly all PCs on the market today will run Windows Vista," and most PCs sold after 2005 are capable of running Vista.Some of the hardware that worked in Windows XP does not work, or works poorly in Vista, because no Vista-compatible drivers are available due to companies going out of business or their lack of interest in supporting old hardware.
