Yes - I'm having exactly the same problem here. Interestingly, I think the problem also affects Windows 2000 and Apple OS-X.

The problem is I've previously sent a number of CDs back to people saying "sorry, I think your CD might be damaged because it's not reading on my Linux PC which usually reads everything...". I suspect this conversation is being repeated daily around the planet given the number of people trying to use Ubuntu et al alongside Vista machines. Whilst we can try and tell people to burn using 'non-default' options on Vista, I'm sceptical about the number of Vista users who'll actually be able to do this (let alone remember to do it consistently). Strangest of all, it's possible that the problem might actually be related to Microsoft actually implementing an existing *standard* - UDF2.50. Shocking I know - (and slightly embarrassing if for us Linux fan-boys if we hasn't caught up with mainstream support for an open standard 18 months after Vista was released.) On the otherhand, it could be that MicroSoft have hacked UDF2.50 around and their implementation is broken. Any ideas?
