Although Microsoft BitLocker it's not the most widespread drive encryption solution, it's a free encryption system that Microsoft offers to all their business/ultimate customers.
With Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012 there are some new interesting features:
BitlLocker Provisioning
In Windows Vista and Windows 7 BitLocker could only be activate post installation.
Now in Windows 8, you can enable BitLocker prior to operating system deployment, directly from WinPE (Windows PreInstallation Environment).
Use Disk Space Only Encryption
Unlike Windows 7 that demand that all data and free space on a volume to be encrypted, you can now encrypt data only
Standard User PIN and Password Change
This one was one of the big flaws on previous BitLocker versions. Standard users couldn't change the PIN or Password.
And...Now the can!
