It's one thing to have systems for the NSA, it's another thing if Microsoft's "Windows 7 Ultimate" biggest feature is easily beatable by the public. Anyone smart enough to want to steal your data is smart enough to download this program off bittorrent.
BitLocker is nothing more than another annoyance to deter lazy thieves now :\

- forensic 17y ago"should" yes, but it doesn't take intelligence to want to encrypt your data, just paranoia. Microsoft is selling Windows 7 Ultimate to people who are computer illiterate with the sales pitch that it will secure their data. These people would never hear about TrueCrypt. They only hear about computer solutions with hundred-million-dollar marketing campaigns. Some of my customers are the totally computer illiterate types who only use Microsoft products. I had been selling these people Ultimate as a way to encrypt their shit. Now I can't really recommend it as protecting against industrial espionage. And they'll never use TrueCrypt, it's too user unfriendly.
