Because no SOHO will by Ultimate? There are so many other examples of wacked
out feature split I'm comfortable with believing they're happy over
complicating the versions for whatever reason.

Well, encryption only protects you against one information loss vector (data
at rest). There are many other ways to lose your data, and saying that you
"CAN'T" protect your data because Bitlocker is missing is incorrect.

That said, there's a tradeoff. If you lock yourself out of a bitlocker-ed
machine, you're SoL. The support issues would be enormous for Microsoft
dealing with poorly run SOHO type outfits that accidently enable Bitlocker
without doing the necessary planning around key escrow/backup.
