   It looks like a very interesting product, but misses some areas I was
interested in, like the Hibernation and Paging files.   Somehow, the
information I'm working with always ends up there.  It's not a problem with
my current encryption requirements, but might be a problem in the future.

   Then there's whole-disk encryption systems like the new Seagate drives
at http://www.asipartner.com/pr.asp?ID=67 " Momentus 5400 FDE.2, a
2.5-inch hard drive that adds hardware-based full disk encryption to
protect data at the drive level instead of the OS level"

  However, they add 25% to the system cost - for an equivalent of BitLocker
functionality included with Vista.   The big question is do I knuckle under
to the big TPM controller in the sky?
