sad but true... the Virgin Empire is falling behind!! The tech support does not support Vista in anyway

It's quite sad that Virgin dropped Sky 1 and other programmes (whoevers, fault it was Murdoch being to greedy or Branson being too tight) but not supporting a brand new OS is just retarded imo (are they going to though?).

Luckily the service itself is still light years better than the ADSL service we get in Swindon, and to be honest, Vista doesn't really require any support. You just plug in the ethernet cable and it works...

maybe for the likes of you or any normal person!!

Lets not forget the type of people that call help lines!!

Vista is fantastic, BUT troubleshooting a connection issue due to all the "helpful" windows things, is a royal pain ! especially when the customer has to be told to move the little arrowe up the screen, now press the button on the left side of the mouse !

Apparently Branson is sueing to get Sky back and yes they will support it in time
