Oh yeah, I see what you mean, and you're right.

I appreciate everyone's input. And I am certainly not one to doubt the powers of "Open Source", by any means. @kickarse, PGP is not the current solution for companys with no money though...it costs us 20-30 thousand yearly. And that's just for maintenance contracts through PGP. It cost us a butt-ton of money to initially buy and set up. Though that included the hardware appliance, email encryption, etc. More than just the desktop encryption portion that I'm comparing right now. Keep in mind though, I'm speaking from my "Corp SysAdmin" hat. Personally I don't trust closed source companies (like PGP corp) nearly as much. But back to the point, does anyone know how they compare technically?

Does anyone know what simularities/differences there is between Bitlocker and PGP's Drive Encryption? (I know PGP does other stuff, like email enc, but I'm specifically comparing the drive encryption portions). There's a guy at my work claiming that our Corporate-Wide PGP implementation can be "scrapped" for Bitlocker. Basically he watched one webinar on Vista 2 months ago and now he's running around yelling; "Bitlocker is teh awezome!!!11!!1!1oneone!!" I don't know enough about bitlocker to have a good opinion on it, but my assumption is since it's free it's not going to be as good as Corporate PGP for drive encryption. p.s. I've googled this, but can't find a good comparison, or even unbiased review, from someone who's used each of them.
