That means a company in this situation would have to defer all the revenue
associated with the product until it can establish the value of the Wi-Fi upgrade,
or until it delivers the complete set of software, said Brett Trueman, a professor of
accounting with the Anderson Business School at the University of California at
Los Angeles. So, Apple would have had to defer all the revenue for Macs sold
with the 802.11n chips from September until it delivers the upgrade in February[/
b], and that's not a realistic option.

It says quite clearly, that Apple would have to defer the cost of the unit sold
(Macbook, Macbook Pro and Pro Mac) till February. That's a lot of cash to defer,
one I'm sure the stock holders wouldn't like to see.
