Thanks John for helping Michael with this

The UI was simplified based on feedback. First there were so many options it
was confusing, and second, there is a lot of hardware that does not have a
TPM, that the USB key does not work either. = Lots of gnashing of teeth.

BTW, manage-bde is a great tool for the BitLocker power user.

noticed that bitlocker wasn't available.

My apologies for jumping to conclusions and running
off at the mouth. My problems with MSN music and DRM
have me really bent out of shape.

Thank you, John.

In Beta 2, you could use Bitlocker to encrypt your Vista
volume even if you did not have "TPM". That is no longer
an option. Pathetic, but expected. I just knew Microsoft
was going to mess that up.
