Microsoft Vista Shuts Out Other OSes

When Microsoft’s Vista arrives on machines, it looks like it may need a trusted platform model (TPM) chip to be present on the system.

That’s just one element of what Microsoft dubs "multi tiered data protection", and the firm says that it will support full volume encryption to prevent disk access to files by other operating systems.. ..It says that the entire system partition is encrypted and that includes both the hibernation file and your data as well.
