A key issue is whether the software program that operates access to the CDROM is workable cross-platform. If the disc in question is ISO9660 compatible, both systems will be able to "read" it, that is, recognize its content. But the software is written to each platform. The best luck in running cross-platform is for products like clip-art, where the data format of the graphic determines whether it useable on each system.
