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.

Does this work in RC1 too?

It took me one install to get the disk partioning right and another install only to discover that it
didnt work.

Should I try a 3rd time?

Thx, I think I will wait a few days before I install it again though.

I wonder why the MS "BitLocker™ Drive Encryption Team" doesnt write a thing like this in their blog.
And why dont they update the Beta 2 step-by-step guide for Bitlocker to RC1?

If I had 'my own' feature in Vista, updating the team blog would have top priority....

Good news.
The Team has updated their blog.

But they link to a page where a RC1 guide was supposed to be located.
But I can still only find the Beta 2 guide.

Oh well....
