Bitlocker didn’t survive the “Fed-infuriating” stage. Though the scuttlebutt is that it was compromised at the NSA level, not the FBI level, so there is that. Though even Windows 7 pretty much prevents true “Full Disk Encryption”. (Though, admittedly, some of that issue is down to the result of legacy hardware issue workarounds.)

But, yeah, it’s looking like Windows 7 is the last version of Windows I’m going to end up running. It’s really sad that “1984” ended up a Guidebook rather than a Warning.
