I'm someone who's interested in politics, as I'm sure many are. I'm majoring in history and international relations in college, and I like to see myself as more in tune with the events are going on. That being said, I also love computers, tweaking them and whatnot.
Now I hope this thread doesn't turn into a political bickerfest, but I just want it stated that I'm very patriotic, like Vista and have an open mind. On to the article: Strategypage is a military and international relation newsitem website. In my opinion, it has a decidely hawk-ish pull to it, but that doesn't detract from quite a few well rounded and thought out articles. However, this one I found funny.

and:

Anyway, these two quotes can somewhat be taken out of context, as the article itself isn't slamming Vista hard. It's just that I find it inane that in this day an age a rational person can come out and say "How Microsoft Vista Helps Terrorists" with BitLocker.
Here's too hoping I didn't post this article in the wrong section, and not the Political Rants section.

The main point is...
For that reason, military and government users were glad to see Microsoft include strong data encryption (BitLocker) in the latest version (Vista) of its operating system. The bad news, at least for intelligence personnel, is that the bad guys will have convenient access to this easy-to-use encryption technology.

While laptop losses cannot be completely eliminated, the degree of damage can be greatly reduced. But new technologies like BitLocker also make life harder for intelligence services everywhere.
