The full volume encryption sounds like a potential nightmare.
You can say THAT again.
MS can't even handle encrypting a few files without some certificate getting lost somewhere and sending you up poop creek without a paddle.

As far as I understand it, it's linked to the hardware on the motherboard, not any particular certificate.
So, just knowing the password should see you safe to unencrypted land.
Tied...to...hardware?
Great, so I upgrade my motherboard and now my drives don't work? That's RETARDED.

There will, or no businesses will use. There's no chance in hell a corporation would spend the time to register 50000+ copies of Windows. It would cost businesses tens of thousands of dollars in administrative time alone to do so. There will be plenty of features that will let the hacker do some fun stuff and bypass all this crap.

Each company will no doubt have a master root certificate that can unlock all the data in the enterprise for use by IT staff. Not even MS is dumb enough to not have a master root certificate. Of course, this assumes that the corporation is smart enough to build an enterprise root CA server...
BTW, just got my hands on, in a very legitimate way, the DVD ISO for Vista Beta 1... it's 2.5 GB!!!!

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox
