No it's not. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that  
"Superdrive" is an Apple trademark. OWC makes no explicit claim that  
the DVR-111 that they are selling is an  "Apple Superdrive". To be an  
"Apple Superdrive" the drive must be Apple labeled, i.e. a drive  
actually sold by Apple as a "Superdrive". I think that OWC is fudging  
here by putting Superdrive in quotes in the description and illegally  
using Apple's trademark to say that "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" the  
DVR-111 will be seen as a Superdrive by OS X. As I said in a previous  
post, most, if not all, people find that this is true, but I want it  
to be clear to Carol that the DVR-111 that OWC is selling is not an  
Apple branded drive and it's not guaranteed that it will be seen as  
such.

Agreed, Tiger has many good things to recommend it by. I'm a lot less  
impressed by Leopard so far.
