As long as a DVD has a properly authored formatted VIDEO_TS folder it will play on most any DVD player. You can put whatever else you want on the DVD - software, PDFs, whatever.

There are startup problems with computers as mentioned, where DVD players will auto-launch, making for a bad customer experience when putting a DVD into computers, which is why many companies don't pursue this, and most consumers don't put enhanced DVDs in their computers. A DVD goes in a DVD player, a DVD-ROM goes in a computer.

My personal opinion is that doing anything with a physical DVD in 2010 is kind of like starting a horse buggy company in 1900. Before too long, a physical DVD will seem as quaint as an audio CD is today.
