This right here says that BitLocker will keep Linux from being able to read a Windows partition? If so, that really sucks, and here's my opinion on WHY....
If the system won't boot, due to viri or some other reasons that the Windows line has not proven itself immune to, then how exactly are they going to allow SOME of us that use Linux to backup data / virus scan it to do our work exactly?
I use Linux because the likelihood of a W32 virus being able to infect linux is very small, if non-existent.
It could still be done via connecting to the network and using SMB I guess, but still... the point being is that to use the tool that IMHO is 100 % effective being taken away by BitLocker is so very, very stupid.
I agree, the idea on a laptop is a VERY good idea, but are they going to phase out FAT32 entirely?
