Checking the quality of your passwords

Stumbled upon this Microsoft web-page that allows you to determine the strength of your passwords. Useful!

    Heh...that one's got some funny results...

    wwwwww$ is a WEAK password, but
    wwwwww$2 is a STRONG password.

    I think its logic might be a bit simplified. There are a number of better password entropy checkers.
