I think they suggested turning VDC off because with a summer tire or an all-season that doesn't have the best snow traction you need to really spin to get moving. Tires with poor grip have to claw their way along and they can't do that if VDC is interrupting.

With a proper winter tire you can leave VDC on and let it work to help you move along.
