That disclaimer really detracts from your post.

But on topic, BitLocker is only suitable for enterprise because it's simply unavailable for home versions.

No, it's available on the "Ultimate" edition of windows too, which is for home use. Many higher-end Windows machines come with it already installed.

I agree, but I feel like it's only fair to report any potential conflict of interest (come from a research background where this is standard). You are also incorrect: Bitlocker is not only available for enterprise versions. See the other reply to your comment :)

It's not that you have a disclaimer, it's that you're being hostile in it.

Ultimate is a weird expensive combined edition that doesn't even exist for Windows 8. I didn't think I had to specifically exclude it, but I definitely don't accept it as making BitLocker available for 'home versions'
