I agree, the problem still exists, perhaps the current Elite's aren't as prone as the previous SKU's but like you said, 10 minutes on google and you can find a host of complaints.
Now the the original articles, which were written for newspapers would tend to be over exaggerated, remember, they're trying to sell their paper first and foremost, in fact these daily rags (not so much the Telegraph) have even been found to fabricate stories completely.
I think I'll sit on the fence with this one, Id like to believe MS but the problems are still apparent (regardless how wide spread they maybe), and the papers well, I'm never going to be 100% on their figures, they're quite happy to embellish the truth to fit there objective.
