A comment on TrueCrypt suggesting migration to BitLocker?. Parent comment
In fact, BitLocker would be the first thing I'd weaken. Because
1) It's closed source, hard to externally audit.
2) It's one of the most used encryption packages in the world.
3) Microsoft's poor security track record provides excellent cover if the weakness is ever found.
Closed-source security software is a recipe for disaster.
