I've been using Truecrypt on Windows for whole disk encryption for several years on a few different (personal) laptops. I have never deployed it in an enterprise environment, but I've had no difficulty with it in my use. In fact, since I usually sleep rather than suspend my laptop (yes, I do know the security trade offs), I can entirely forget it's encrypted until Patch Tuesday when MS reboots the machine for me. I did some informal benchmarking shortly after installation and while I believe boot took a few seconds longer and of course waits for me to type in a pass phrase, run time has not suffered at all. I'm not a Mac guy, so I can't help there. -- Dewey
