Asus has accidentally shipped private files on recovery discs with several of its laptop ranges - including a CV, internal source code and documentation, and a pirated key generator.

Where can I get an ISO of these? Seems like some fun information available on those.

Beyond that... what a huge mock up! Now they'll probably fire the guy/gal in the CV when its probably not his/her fault.

Same here.
This is definitely one hell of an embarrassment for ASUS.

10+ years ago when I started college, I had to buy a software package from the engineering department at the school. Interestingly enough, one of the disks had multiple demo games buried in the file structure... if you looked hard enough. While the demos did not get installed by default, you could install them manually after finding them. If my memory serves me correctly, it contained demos of Heretic, Hexen, Descent 2, Triad???, Duke Nukem, and other such games of the time period.
