No it doesn't. The key could be automatically saved in the TPM - locally. Yet Microsoft chooses to save it in its own cloud.

And you could make the same argument against Android 5 and iOS 8 encryption, too. That users won't be able to "recover" their data. Tough luck. Google and Apple did it anyway, and it seems to be a successful move.

Microsoft is now the only one of the three major platforms who doesn't provide secure automatic encryption with locally stored keys.

And how does grandma retrieve it if she forgets her password?

Also, does Apple do this for OS X or just iOS?

Grandma recieves it from the same place law enforcement does.

We get it.

Key escrow can be key escrow for everyone.

Grandma gets her copy and so does Big Brother.
