Indeed, it's a policy we follow at work with our wireless network. While the network doesn't require it, we will only support students who use the standard tools provided with Windows and OSX (The Wireless Control Panel on Windows and OSX's Wireless network manager). This is only because we don't have time to learn the layout of all the various Wireless manager programs out there.
I suspect it's the same with Virgin. While other email clients will work with their service (indeed, when I joined up in the dark old days when it was Cable & Wireless, Outlook worked fine for my C&W email), they can't train their staff in all of the hundreds of available email clients, so they only officially support those built into the OS.

The status of Office within Microsoft is not relevant. It may be Microsoft's flagship software but the fact is that in any communication between you and Virgin, You and Virgin are the first and second parties. Anyone else (including Microsoft) is a third party.
