[...] you have to consider the fact that Truecrypt project
was started before FDE was popular, maybe their goal all
this time was to popularize such encryption. With XPs
demise that goal would have been achieved as every
current Windows version comes with Bitlocker.
Your comment is dead but makes a lot of sense, especially in light of the message on the website:
The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after
Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP.
I don't agree Bitlocker is a sensible alternative, but this piece does fit the puzzle.
