Apple has gone on record and stated that thier superdrive would only work w/the MBA and a direct connection. You are right; it draws more power than the standard usb port gives, so it won't work with anything else. Kinda of a good marketing ploy; how many people would buy an external burner for 99? Seems cheap, but it could be me.
On topic: I got my MBA yesterday. I installed Office 2008 via remote disk. Wasn't painful, wasn't awesome. Then when I tried to connect to MSN messenger, it JACKED up my internet to the point where it wouldn't work. I had to reboot to get it to work. The overall speed so far isn't bad, and not that noticeable. I am noticing this very second that I need to change some setting, because when I am typing this, my palms are hitting the pad, and it's moving the cursor on me.
If I get some time tonight, I plan on doing a review if any one is interested.
