I have

I have read all of the talkbacks, and it seems the problem is due to the SoX, not Apple. However, Apple are the only ones who, from what I have seen, are charging people to use the MIMO features. Are any MS based products charging to activate MIMO? If so, then I agree that highlighting Apple and not MS would be biased, but if only Apple are doing so (for whatever reasons), then that is just quite simply unbiased journalism.

An interesting questions though, is who is right? Either Apple are correct and everyone else is wrong in their interpretation of SoX, or Apple is wrong and everyone else is correct (unless Apple made a mistake in not advertising the potential functionality before purchase).

Either way, I would be fuming if I purchased an Apple and had to pay to activate that particular function, regardless of the cost.
