Nope.

No difference except MS is taking the high road in this one. Privacy is
different from protection. BitLocker is protection from theft, Private
folders are protection from your admin, which a corporate machine shouldnt
have IMO.

MS is learning, but maybe they could include private folders in the home
versions of vista.
