One of the biggest issues with Truecrypt 5.0’s System Partition encryption was that it couldn’t hibernate the OS; which was holding me back from deploying it company-wide. Thankfully, this is now fixed in 5.1
Support for hibernation on computers where the system partition is encrypted (previous versions of TrueCrypt prevented the system from hibernating when the system partition was encrypted). (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
Other things of note include faster encryption/decryption using AES, and faster boot times.

A new RSPCA poll shows the recent campaign on the plight of meat chickens reared in the UK each year – highlighted in programmes presented by Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - has changed people’s buying habits.
The poll shows an amazing 73 per cent of consumers said that since recently discovering standard chickens were farmed in poor conditions they now buy chickens that have had a better life.
My vegan sister may have helped me over to the dark side( ), but I’m still very pleased that the public is becoming more aware of where their meat comes from and how it lived. Much kudos to the RSPCA, Hugh, and Jamie!
