Vista - Vista and UK ISP

I use Virgin. I joined about 2 years ago, and the CD that they supplied when
i first joined works fine with Vista.

Stuart it is worth remembering that a number of users here are none
technical and rely on the automatic config CDs supplied by ISPs to do
a simple install for them. There is more to setting up a ADSL
connection then just a driver for the ADSL modem. These CDs hide
those additional processes from end users and configure their PCs for
easy use i.e. a simple Connect to Internet icon or a file to configure
their browser etc.
So while you or I are happy to change our VPI/VCI settings and default
DNS servers etc - many aren't
