I saw this on the Microsoft site:

Non-Microsoft software updates, such as:

   - Computer manufacturer firmware updates

   - TPM firmware updates

   - Non-Microsoft application updates that modify boot components

I concerned about the third point.  Would this include Adobe Reader
upgrades?  I can't see how it would but then I am also concerned about any
other software that others may have run into that would affect Bitlocker.
