    the days of popping out a hard drive, and grabbing whatever the hell’s on there with a usb connection are over

    Independent repair shops are going to suffer big time from this.

      well, if the customer provides them the bitlocker key, then they can access and manipulate the data on the drive, if not, they’re fucked

        I’ve supported bitlocker in corporate deployments. I have also spent some time in independent repair shops. I have little confidence in users to supply a bitlocker key, let alone even know what one is. I anticipate a lot of “what? I already gave you my password.”

      Obviously, Microsoft will happily sell you one drive cloud backup to solve the problem they are creating.
