I believe EFS is available in Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server, too. Software-based solutions have the advantage that they are somewhat more testable and reviewable. If it's all in the disk, you can't really be sure that the data is encrypted with a static key, and the passphrase is used for access control only. The latter approach seems to be somewhat common with encrypting storage devices, unfortunately.
