Because BitLocker locks the disk key to the boot sequence, any dual-boot system that uses this capability will not be able to decrypt the encrypted data when the alternate OS is booted. Users who want to share their PC data between Vista and Linux will not be able to use this advanced BitLocker capability.
Point of order here: are you referring to a full operating system when you say "Linux" or just the kernel. If the former, it's GNU/Linux. If the latter, you should specifically say "the Linux kernel". Though, arguably, the proper substitution here could be: s/Linux/any operating system besides Windows Vista or later/ We need a public education campaign here. Microsoft seems to embrace security, as long as it's in their best (monopolistic) interests to do so. That's a huge problem, unless and until ReactOS can come close enough to Windows to fool treacherous computing. -- Shawn K. Quinn
