Hmm, Starcraft came out in 1998, it's now 2008... 10 years isn't exactly a few months:P Not that I seriously expected them to deliver any fully finished games at their Con, though it wouldn't upset many people if they did...
Actually, CSA and many other newer IPS use a behavioural strategy to block malicious intent, instead of or in addition to, signature based strategies. To date, at least according to Cisco, CSA has blocked all known malware without use of signatures... While of course vendor info should be taken with a grain of salt, the approach has some merit in my opinion.
We use forced whole disk encryption on all laptops. Additionally, you can look at data loss solutions like you've suggested but I'd recommend something a bit more holistic, like Cisco's Security Agent, which provides a centrally managed firewall, IPS, anti-virus and data loss protection function all from a single installed agent.
Just ask any ISP sales weasle to explain it to (insert non-clued layman here), they are used to dumbing it down for clueless business decision makers at companies worldwide. Sure, half the crap coming out of it's mouth will be wrong, but it will be layman enough for most non-technical folks to at least grasp the concept...
Doom was basically just a graphics upgrade and subsitution of aliens for german soldiers. Doom/2/3, Quake/2/3, Return to Wolfenstein, Quakeworld (arguably the precursor to the Battlefield series), teamfortress, Duke Nuke'em, Unreal et al would never have existed without the popularity of Wolfenstein which resulted in hundreds of thousands of pirated installs globally and raised the perception of FPS as a genre to levels that enabled all of these a viable demographic in the business.
At least that's my opinion, I could be wrong... I'm not though.
...Or is it just that people don't count Solaris as Unix? Sadmind spread itself by scanning for a known vuln, just as Code Red did. It just happened to also attack IIS servers.

Ahh, but they demo'd them, which is not quite the same as delivering them, at least I haven't been able to order or download a copy yet..
Starcraft 2, Diablo 3... Everyone's expecting them and (thus far) Blizzard isn't delivering :P
