I recall them saying all along that it wasn't necessarily related to the Apple laptop they were using. That they were showing third-party drivers but happened to be on a Mac in the demo. And Intel even shipped drivers that fixed the flaw a few weeks before.
One article about it http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=2266507 New Intel windows drivers (read all the warnings before installing these!) http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-010623.htm This happens every year at Blackhat and Defcon. Various security flaws or hacks are announced. There's a flurry of incomplete coverage. And people ferret out the details (or hype) in the following weeks and months... Just in time for next year!
