[Discuss] Full disk encryption

[omegahalo at gmail.com (Chris O'Connell)]

I've used both TrueCrypt and BitLocker.  I prefer BitLocker for a couple of
 reasons:

The password used to decrypt the disk and log in to Windows is the same.
 Thus the process is more transparent for users.  Instead of having to
enter two (sometimes unrelated) passwords with Truecrypt, BitLocker users
only enter one password.

My users HATE truecrypt.  They are prompted twice for passwords (Once
preboot and once to log into Windows).  Also, the preboot password doesn't
 correlate with the login password, especially if the Windows Password
policy forces users to change their passwords at some interval.

Hibernation and suspend is smoother and more reliable with BitLocker.
 Truecrypt sometimes requires you to enter the PreBoot password to resume
your system, where as BitLocker has the standard Windows login screen when
you resume.
