Wondering if anyone had seen this article and what impact, if any, it will have on your use of TrueCrypt?

We just implemented the campus-wide use of TrueCrypt, but for select folder/volume encryption and not for full disk 
encryption and are interested in how anyone else is responding to the claims contained in the article.

Happy Holidays!
