The new version supports system partition encryption (Windows family only) for an extremely high level of security. No more "information leaks" in the page file, temp files, etc.

I'll probably slap this on my laptop in the near future :) They seem to have done a nice job implementing it.

In case anyone cares, I've successfully encrypted the entire hard disk in my laptop. It prompts for a password right after the BIOS POST. Now I can rest easy knowing that if I'm ripped off, the bad guy won't get any financial info :) A bit paranoid, perhaps, but it's an easy enough process that it's hard not to recommend.
