truecrypt.org redirects to this http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/ Pretty crazy. Whoever the developers may be, after spending a good deal of effort on their project, now are licking MS' boots? It doesn't make sense.
BitLocker's enterprise documentation makes me *incredibly* suspicious that it is susceptible to monitoring by third-parties.
Even being embarrassed by whatever bugs the second phase audit uncovered wouldn't explain the sudden recommendation. And why not ecryptfs or ~literally anything else~ ?
Pardon my tinfoil hat.
