BitLocker Hard Drive Encryption
Last modified: Friday, August 25, 2006 

A hard drive encryption tool in Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate. BitLocker addresses threats of data theft or disclosure from lost, stolen or inappropriately decommissioned PC hardware. BitLocker works by preventing a thief who boots another operating system or runs a software hacking tool from breaking Windows Vista file and system protections or performing offline viewing of the files stored on the protected drive. The feature uses a Trusted Platform Module to protect user data and to ensure that a PC running Windows Vista has not been tampered with while the system was offline. BitLocker combines drive encryption and integrity checking of early boot components. [Adapted from Microsoft Windows Vista]

Small Business Computing: An Introduction to Windows Vista: Part 1
Since Vista is still in beta, many of it's features are still evolving, and exactly which ones make it into which version of the product is also somewhat still up in the air (as are some other product details, like pricing). Nevertheless, based on recent announcements by Microsoft as well as examination of the latest Windows Vista Community Technology Preview also known as build 5308), we have a reasonably good idea of what Vista's new features will be.
