Unless you intend to have blurred movement, shooting moving subjects at slow shutter speeds is pointless with or without VR. The subject dictates the shutter speed. That said, its a question of what options you have to 'freeze the action'...and where any compromise can be made.

For many mobile wildlife subjects, shutterspeeds of 1/500 are often order of the day. If the right exposure and composition cannot be obtained using fstop and ISO, then a tripod or VR won't help.
When lighting is outside the reach of fstop and ISO .....go back to the car...and drive to the pub.

VR is more about wobbly photographers, who don't have a tripod and who aren't able or prepared to stretch the fstop/ISO envelope. But having said that, using high ISO under incandescent lighting is far worse than daylight. So when it comes to interior low light shots, I would lean towards VR over high ISO.

Some of the latest DSLR bodies have VR built in.

Not Nikon yet.
I think that would kill their VR lens offerings but be very popular with users.  I think there are design considerations that make it good to have in lens versus in body.  I cant remember what it is but I remember reading about it and thinking ' fair enough! '.
:bowing:

Some of the in camera VR systems move the sensor to sync with the vibration.
Allows those super zoom fixed lens cameras to get sharp pix at 1200mm eq or more.
