Gartner Dings Vista On BitLocker
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007
Microsoft’s decision to offer whole disk encryption in only some of the Windows Vista editions leaves many users without one of the 
new operating system’s most important security features, a Gartner analyst argued. "At the Vista kickoff, Steve Ballmer was asked, ‘How important is BitLocker?’ In his typical booming response, Ballmer said, ‘hugely important’," said Gartner analyst Jeffrey Wheatman, in a research note posted Tuesday.
"This is a particularly interesting response in light of the fact that BitLocker is only available via Microsoft’s Software Assurance (SA) program aimed at large enterprises and the [Windows Vista] Ultimate version," Wheatman said. Gartner Dings Vista On BitLocker - News by InformationWeek
