I use PGP Desktop 9.10 full disk encryption on a Windows XP SP3 laptop and it did not work because I got the PGP prompt to unlock the disk after the initial KonBoot splash screen. I entered my PGP password to continue the boot process, but I had to enter my actual Windows credentials at the Windows login screen to successfully log in, so no go even if someone knows the PGP password. I also have an Ubuntu 9.10 laptop running disk encryption and the result was just like the PGP result. I successfully got it to work on a Debian system (VMware guest), but not my Fedora Core system (again VMWare guest). Very sweet tool. I showed all the guys at work and they loved it. Tomorrow we are going to see if it will work with an Active Directory account. I have only tested with local accounts.
