ROM-DOS Posted April 28, 2006 CID Share Posted April 28, 2006 UK tech site The Register is reporting on security guru Bruce Schneier's observation that the disk encryption system to be shipped with Vista, BitLocker, will make dual booting other OSs difficult - you will no longer be able to share data between the two." From the article: "This encryption technology also has the effect of frustrating the exchange of data needed in a dual boot system. 'You could look at BitLocker as anti-Linux because it frustrates dual boot,' Schneier told El Reg. Schneier said Vista will bring forward security improvements, but cautioned that technical advances are less important than improvements in how technology is presented to users.

Swimmer Posted April 28, 2006 CID Share Posted April 28, 2006 yeah i read that.. looks like another tactic to kill off linux.. my prediction.. hacker have it dual booting if it is ever released in one of the Betas.. or about 2 months after it has been on the market..
