Default OEM Vista Business - Bitlocker

I know Bitlocker isn't available with Business (bizarre as anything tbh
however). I have a Vista Ultimate Upgrade DVD and Product key but tbh I
really do not want to Upgrade my perfectly working Business OEM edition with
something when all I want is one , yes one , of the Ultimate
extras..Bitlocker.

Is there any way to get this on the Business edition without going through
an upgrade.

I can guarantee any upgrade will screw something up from the manufacturer
installed extras which are more useful to me than the odd one or 2 I might
get with Ultimate.

Any way to do tihis?

Hi Gordon,

Sorry, but no, you can't do that. Bitlocker is only able to be used on
Ultimate and Enterprise.
