The fact that Bitlocker really wants a TPM to work properly rather than being entirely in software is a pain.

The fact the German and recently Chinese governments have specifically banned their users from trusting windows 8 + TPM doesn't thrill me with confidence.

The fact that bitlocker kindly sends a copy of your HDD recovery key to Microsoft if you have windows 8 linked to your live account doesn't strike me as brilliant, either.

Oh, and the fact I need to upgrade to the Ultimate or Enterprise editions of Windows means it doesn't help a large majority of users.

Even if truecrypt were written as part of an NSA/FBI joint project it's still works across the three main OS's and it has the source code available for scrutiny (deterministic build issues aside).
