We recently moved to, and began deploying, Symantec Endpoint Encryption
(formally GuardianEdge) - they just released their new client which is
fully Win7 compliant.....(the previous version worked, but the pre-boot
environment was problematic....)

Seriously? It took a full year?

This is why BitLocker is so attractive... though the deployment, key recovery, and especially end-user lost-password 
features are far nicer in third party WDE software.

The nice thing  about being such late adopters is that I can almost, but not quite, get away with saying that Windows 7 
is the baseline.
