I think you're right, but I think home users should want encryption more than they do, as more and more of our key data (banking details, bills, personal data, photos, etc.) is being stored on our home computers and (for laptops) carried around and even more vulnerable.The pro version offers a few features that you cannot get in the standard version, (like RDP, joining domains, encryption, virtual hard drives). However, if you aren't going to use any of those features there is no reason to spend extra money for them. The typical home user is unlikely to need or want these features.

Is TrueCrypt supported on Windows 8 yet?I agree encryption should be used by people more. However, I would elect to "not" spend the extra for the OS and instead download and install TrueCrypt for free and encrypt with that.
Ah thanks for that. I just looked on the Truecrypt site and the list of supported operating systems still only goes up to Windows 7.I had no idea they didn't have support for Windows 8. I've been using it on Windows 8 since 8 came out without any trouble. I don't encrypt entire drives, just a dedicated container.
It's good to know that the encrypted containers work, but I think I would be pretty cautious about encrypting whole drives.
