I don’t own a Mac so I don’t know if or what encryption is available.
So why are you trying to act like an expert on Macs and their benefits or foibles? You are ignorant. You trumpet your ignorance on every Mac thread you troll into.
I own Macs... and I own Windows PCs... and I own Linux machines. I work on all three (not too much on Linux). I manage networks of PCs, networks of Macs, and networks of both. I know MORE about them than do you, yet you have the unmitigated gall to tell me I am an idiot for making the choices I have made based on my superior level of information (at least as far as the advantages and disadvantages of the Mac) based on your total ignorance or the Mac platform gleaned from reading someone else's biased ignorance.
Blue, you are blind a blind man and trying to direct the seeing toward the door.
You said — I don’t own a Mac so I don’t know if or what encryption is available.

And that’s where you need to get educated, to find out why Macs are picking up marketshare dramatically, and from your fellow Windows users. I’ve heard Apple give out this statistic, that at the Apple stores, over 50% of the buyers of the computers are from people who have never had a Macintosh before.
