Re: Full-disk encryption: PGP v. WinMagic for Mac+Win7+XP

["SCHALIP, MICHAEL" <mschalip () CNM EDU>]

A year??......not really......the previous version of SEE was already Win7 compliant for the past year.  The only 
difference is that the previous client didn't include the pre-boot environment......but encryption was in place.  It 
just used the Windows credentials and decrypted after the windows boot.....

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.
