Why not allow reliale software such as those listed bellow to generate and manage your password? Passwords suck as security, but they aren't going away. These even let you setup rules for generating the password.
Does Asus manufacture Apple notebooks? Regardless, I'm still curious as to why Asus has denied the problem at all in any of their notebooks. I even called them up to ask about it and the response was... "If you think you have any problems, mail the notebook to us, and we'll take a look at it, but our notebooks are not effected by this."
The notebook I have is the G1S-A1 that has an nvidia 8600GT.
Proper training to identify possible risks (this is a human thing) are likely key to minimizing a compromise. AV software and HIPS are great and all, you can blow your entire budget on them. There is no substitute for educated and intelligent employees (and CEOs).
Less focus on the security of the OS, network, etc, more investment in employee training to identify risks, confirm validity, etc are tools that change less over time.

Test it out and let others know your results. Useful to you, your friends, and to the developing community.

I like the way liquidcd.com has setup an alternative. You can buy the music, have it on CD, and then rip it back to mp3 if you like.....
