or put simply its an ace up sky's sleeve,why release such good offerings to competitors when youre not forced to.

If you agree that it is a good offering, and Sky probably put a lot of work into it, surely it is reasonable to expect other providers to pay for it (which enhances their service), rather than it being given away for free?

what i'm not sure about is whether it's the two technologies that aren't compatable or whether it's the two managers (dicky branson & rupert murdoch) that aren't compatable - maybe when VM are bought out things might be different

From what I've read, it's the technology and apparently it's quite a lot of work to develop interactive applications on VM to match what Sky offer, an undertaking which VM would have to do (as its their software) and might not find cost beneficical, at least while they can do fine without providing it. (e.g. Like the News 24 News Screens on the NTL side which aren't available - it's not that the BBC wont provide them)
