It was a known risk on my part but worth it as in my case its cost me £60 for the lot inc licence and it all works fine on Vista with Vagcom version 409.1.

I have no problem with paying for the licence to software i'm using but i wasnt prepared to pay much more just to get it to work just because my laptop happens to run Vista and not XP, i wasnt going to be penalized because i have Vista.

Well, it's not just Vista - it's also the newer functions and better coverage. The version we are working on currently will have some small improvements for the Polo class models (which includes your Ibiza), as well as updated documentation for these models to make the software easier to use... ;)
