Of all the new features, the "hidden OS support" looks the coolest, since most FDE products (for the OS) don't do this (meaning you're still susceptible to the "gun to the head" scenario). - -- I wonder if/when TC will support TPM chips, allowing for PIN entry ('stead of entering a complex p/w on startup) and pre-boot integrity checking).
