      In some places yes. Bitlocker being backdoored is a big problem for insurance purposes alone.

        One can only hope that they actually see the light, but my bet is it would be way too expensive (in terms of money and willingness to retrain) to switch to Linux and they’ll just shrug and continue. Hopefully I’m wrong.

          Schleswig-Holstein (germany) has moved entire gov workforce (ca. 40k people) off of sharepoint, outlook, office, onedrive. And now start to move from windows to linux. Slow, steady, training and helping all the way. Material generated for this gan also used by other state if want.

          Ich liebe es.

          Depends where and who. Other governments are the biggest single segment MS has to worry about

          So, the good news is that your stolen laptop can be decrypted. Nice. That’s the main argument for bitlocker, so your stolen laptop can’t be decrypted.

            If you turn off the recovery environment Bitlocker works as expected.

            It is really bad but not hard to mitigate
