    Re: Vista: BitLocker gives dual-boot systems the elbow

    Hmm, a simple solution would be to not use bitlocker and use truecrypt http://www.truecrypt.org/

    which is free and open source. What does worry me though is the mention of hardware encryption. Is this the start of the TCPA's assault on our puters?

    That sucks for people who want to dual boot. But then I don't think I'll need dual boot anyway.

    This sounds like something that would be completely optional and would have to turned on to be used. It seems like a feature that would be aimed at corporations where encrypting their data is actually necessary.

    Seconded.

    There is no possible way Microsoft would do this. The main reason being they would be sued by just about everyone relating to other OSs.
