Hi Serguei,

I am a Linux office.  I have 12 VM's at last count.
I use Red Hat's KVM (kernel virtual machine).
With KVM, I can bugzilla the developers and get
bugs fixed.  With Oracle, they ignore you until
your customer fires you, which have happened to me.
Then they ignore you some more.  Then four or more
years later, they ask you if you are still having
the problem.

My entire hard drive and all my backup drives are
encrypted, so my customer's and my sensitive data
is properly protected.

I use these LUKS flash drives at customer sites,
which in 95% Windows.  I am stuck with the
unsigned drivers hassles with Free OTFE, which
drives me a bit nutty.

So, I really do need a Windows native solution.

I was hoping that if any of your guys carry
around LUKS flash drive, that you had come
up with a good method of sharing with Windows.
