If you want your data safe from floppy/CD boots, encrypt it with something secure. Don't trust Microsoft and hardware to do it. Hardware fails, and many OEMs would just put some cheap crap into it, which WILL FAIL. (Even if it's not cheap crap, hardware eventually fails - it's just a matter of time.)
And then what do you do when it fails? You hope someone's cracked the protection, thus nullifying the entire point of it.
