Does the F3JP, specifically the one linked to below, have LightScribe?

I have read some reviews that indicate that it does, and I have read some reviews that indicate that it doesn't. I bought two of those and my wife noticed that LightScribe software was installed in Vista (I have avoided using windows too much to take any notice myself), but found the apparent discrepancy odd. I mean, it only says DVD Super-Multi on the page, but yet the software is installed. Some reviews mention it does, and some mention that they don't... so... ?

None of the F3JP models have a LightScribe-enabled DVD burner, sorry. The software sometimes gets installed by default with the CD authoring suite.

The same thing happened with the G1. As far as I know, that model does not have Lightscribe, however the F3Se coming out soon will, it will also be based on SR, which is quite nice, so possibly look into that.
