Once again it's amazing how MS can mess around with a "standard". Hopefully this will start to backfire on them; there'll presumably be plenty of <=XP users stuck with this too?
To be honest, I'm not sure that they have messed with a standard. I think all it is that Vista by default creates filesystems that are UDF 2.5 which are supported in recent Linux kernel versions but I really don't know much about this given I only first did any research about UDF due to Teds problem. You can tell Vista to create discs based on older versions of UDF apparently that will be more compatible with older versions of XP/Linux. Although, don't ask me how as I've only ever used Vista for about 10 minutes. Hell, I'm not even sure if it will fix the problem Ted has been having, it might be a red herring :)
