Despite the overwhelming Msoft is evil vibe, I'm not so sure in this case.
I just got back from the Miscrosoft Vista Readiness Lab, which they setup and run for free to help ISVs port their apps to Vista. The Msoft engineers there were very helpful and seemed to be actually interested in getting 3rd part apps to work on Vista. Their statement was that it was in their best interest for everything to run seemlessly on Vista at launch time (no doubt to avoid press like this article).
I have no knowledge about this specific case, but my bet would be that Apple and Audible haven't gotten their act together on the port. Maybe there were specific changes in Vista that made it tougher for them, but they have had quite a bit of time to work on it.
