RockRidge adds all the nice POSIX stuff to ISO9660. Since W95, and NT are 
NOT POSIX compliant operating systems, they don't take advantage of 
RockRidge.

You can write a level 2 ISO9660 disc. Linux generally has no problems 
with that. W95 and NT may/will have problems depending on the time of 
day, the weather, the size of the ozone hole over the antarctic,...

Well, I'd like to scrap M$, but a lot of my clients use their stuff and 
request Joliet. BTW, even W95 has problems with Joliet (see above about 
time of day).
