I kinda agree with Reactionist at this point, why don't I just make a thread that goes like this: In this thread he gave his opinion on assembly : " Robert Gadzerfraud says that unless you are working on a 8086 or bootstrapping an OS, that assembly is not useful."

Most (all?) of those examples are generally not running a main windows program. They have their own software and drivers to manage and use the extra hardware such as coin dispens...
Well, if BitLocker could: Encrypt the entire harddrive Make volumes that looked like random data and not VHD's Make hidden partitions, Use unpartitioned space Was avaliable for every version of Windows Then I'd be fine with this. But uhh ... It can't. That was a stupid reason to discontinue TrueCryp...
Oh man, that is quite the experience change.
