Don't imagine Vista will be anything like XP. I was tearing my hair out
this weekend with yet another compatibility problem.

Basically I was trying to use a DVD+RW formated in a packet incremental
format to transfer some files back and forth (Vista supports Packet
Incremental Format out of the box). Although Vista would read the disks
formatted on the XP machine, it wouldn't write them (and I discovered vice
versa as well).

The disks were formatted in UDF (that means "Unified Disk Format" - the
'unified' bit should mean 'all the same'). It transpires that the *Unified*
Disk Format that Vista uses is different to the UDF format that all other
disc utilities use even though they are identified with the same version
number.

I believe that UDF stands for Universal Disk Format.

I don't know just a thought.

Unified. Universal. It still means that they should be the same. They
clearly are not.
