Hmm.. are there any independent audits done on BitLocker? Since TrueCrypt's validity is so so and TPM modules cannot be fully trusted, may it be more secure to run Truecrypt and Bitlocker on top of each other? What other good encryptio

So its basically ISPs acting as CDNs, infact the best one money can buy. Does this mean no one will every be a true competitor to Youtube or match its performance unless they pay all the local ISPs?
