Since when is $110 too much for an OEM version of Vista Home Premium? $50-60 for The Orange Box is too expensive?

You're right:
"BitLocker is only available in the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista."

But I thought that BitLocker was on by default-- in which it encrypts your entire volume (all the data that is on the volume).

It's just a point of clarification in case you use those operating systems and you need data off the drive(s). Professional forensics people can get past all that without too much trouble, but for someone that does not have that experience, it's not easy.

Quote:
Nevertheless, in February 2008, a group of security researchers published details of a straightforward cold boot attack that allows a Bitlocker-protected machine to be compromised by booting the machine off a USB device into another operating system, then dumping the contents of pre-boot memory.[8] The attack relies on the fact that DRAM retains information for up to several minutes (or even longer if cooled) after power has been removed. Use of a TPM module does not offer any protection, as the keys are held in memory while Windows is running, although using TPM together with a PIN offers better protection. Similar full disk encryption mechanisms of other vendors and other operating systems, including Linux and Mac OS X, are vulnerable to the same attack.[8] The authors recommend that computers be powered down when not in physical control of the owner (rather than be left in a "sleep" state) and that a PIN also be required to boot the machine.

I've dual-booted XP Pro and Vista Ultimate, when I was booted in XP, I could access my Vista files fine. I haven't used Vista in forever (won't be able to until I get my P4 machine up and running again) but I'll try that out and see how it goes.

With Vista I just used windows +r to bring up a run window or used less functionality, right click to explore or open windows and that would let me copy things I sent to one of my computers on my network. worked like a charm.
