Alexander, these are great news. I do miss ScramDisk, though the whole concept of storing really sensitive personal information on anything else than a PDA is nowadays strange for me. Still, one should be able to protect his data also on a PC, which brings me back to the original question. Most people /including myself/ are not programmers. Even if I see the code, I can't understand if it is secure or not. Some people, including us, believe that if it is open source, and no one found anything doubtful - it should be more reliable, than some company's claim that 'everything is OK'. But most users want phone & customer support more than widely tested features. And from this point of view - closed-source single-company product has advantages than open-soure, but not so user-friendly supported one. And the ideal combination is too rare....

BTW - the link to truecrypt does not work for me - is it only me?
