Windows Vista To Make Dual-Boot A Challenge? 442

mustafap writes "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."

Put them all in one Domain, turn on Active Directory, purchase eOrchestrator from Network Associates and it will install virusscan on all of them and update them according to the policy. You can also force clients to install the windows update patches this way. We do this where I work and it keeps 95% of the machines updated with all microsoft patches and new virus dats with little to no work. Sure..our pocketbook is a whole lot lighter but so is our workload.
