Just a quick point. They weren't sure wether bitlocker came with all versions of Vista. It doesn't. To quote from their help section:
It should also say it is available on the business version...
Which effectively means its not available on any other version ie. home basic or home premium.
You can get the comparisons here:

Gibson barely scratches the surface on Vista security. The most significant point is that Vista is the first OS released by MS to go through the secure development lifecycle. Vista is what XP should have been.
However, Vista had to re-educate users away from the problem of administrators by default and UAC has seen a backlash from people who dont know better. Too many people grown up on bad OS's from MS's past.
Vista continues to have less security problems than Apple Mac, RHEL, Ubuntu etcetc.
