What exactly are you looking for? If it is full disk encryption, why not use
BitLocker?

Have got to agree here. I moved to Bitlocker after some research, even
the might Schneier agreed it was good and he's normally still hurting
about losing the AES bid to Rijndall.

I use Truecrypt for encrypting the other drives.

That's BitLocker. Comes with Vista Enterprise and Ultimate. Type "Bitlocker"
in the Search box on the Start menu.

This is Microsoft we are talking about surely with a threat of a court
order or something along those lines they could decrypt your drive in
theory? I know Drivecrypt is based in germany for their laws and they
put no backdoor in and even they cant uncrypt your drive.

If you distrust Microsoft so much, why are you running their OS?

The answer is "No."

Thanks for the helpful post. I don't distrust Microsoft they provide a
good product. I simply want a undecryptable drive and pre-boot auth for
64bit. No harm in talking about how secure systems are.

So my answer is,

"No." I dont distrust MS.
