I haven't seen many practices with either. I'm just glad they finally figured out that BitLocker is necessary on the professional edition rather than making an "Ultimate" feature.

I never did like MS limiting Bitlocker to Enterprise and Ultimate Editions and I voiced my disagreement several times over the years.

If so I may have to use win 8 / 8.1 pro but it means another upgrade and paying another $ 200 to get the upgrade!I had win 7 ultimate because initially AC was not compatible with win 8 but now it is with the pro versions. thanks Bala

FIPS compliance is nice and I do recommend it, but you should save it for your next upgrade. Regarding Windows 8, no need to jump on that now. Stick with your current upgrade schedule. Perhaps wait for Windows 10 to come out then go with Bitlocker with FIPS. JamesNT James Summerlin My personal site: http://www.dataintegrationsolutions.net james@dataintegrationsolutions.net
