User Account Control is the elephant in the room in any discussion of Vista security. UAC in Windows 7 is similarly elephantine. And, of course, cranking up networking security and giving power-ups to the firewall are hot topics, too. Besides these big-ticket items, however, Windows 7 brings a number of other security goodies, some of them quite interesting.
Windows 7 extends this protection to cover removable drives. Its BitLocker To Go feature works even without a TPM—good thing, as my test system doesn't have one. Turning it on for a drive is as simple as choosing BitLocker from the right-click menu. You supply a passphrase or (if you're totally l33t) a smart card for encryption. You stash away a special 40-digit recovery key in case the passphrase slips your mind or the smart card slips out of your pocket. After a few minutes, the drive is encrypted.(www.pcmag.com)
