I think they wouldn't be allowed to withdraw from VM by the BBC Trust right now due to the money recently spent on the VM customisation, but that could change in time.

Did you not see the uproar when iplayer was windows only?
They had to make it multi-platform due to their service obligations.
Having a platform up and working, and then withdrawing from it to promote their own version is entirely against their service obligations.
They are obliged to provide content to ALL license fee payers, where it is technically possible. It's technically possible for them to provide vod on VM, they've proven this by having iplayer on there, therefore they HAVE to continue to offer it.

Yes they can but that is why the install is that long as they spend most of the time getting in and out
