Nope. It's both a software and a hardware thing - those 90/99 minuted CDRs still say they're 80 minutes discs in their ATIP record; it's just nowadays you can urge quite a load of drives/cd recording programs to just continue burning when they're crossing the 80 minute mark - that gives you a few extra MB on regular discs and a whopping 10/19 minute bonus on the specially manufactured 90/99 min discs. (In fact, I'm currently burning a 90 min CDR... :)
