I still have no definite idea as to why TrueCrypt was dropped and Bitlocker was suggested! I too think that Vera looks like a fork of TrueCrypt.

It doesn't 'look like' a fork. It is a fork. And obviously it's not something they are hidding. So the previous comment from korpalski pointing out that it "looks just like a rebranded Truecrypt" is pretty stupid. https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=FAQ What's the difference between TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt? VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. ----------- Who knows if that's really true, tho. I personally use DiskCryptor.
