    I did not find any topics on this in the search, but it is possible that I'm too retarded to find them and if that is the case I apologize.

    Anyway, I'm running Vista Business on my SZ450N and was wondering if there is any way to port some of the powertoys that microsoft released for Vista Ultimate to Vista Business. In particular, I am looking for the BitLocker utility. I searched some torrent sites and was not able to find anything there either...any thoughts?

    Bitlocker isn't a powertoy. It's one of the key features of Premium and Enterprise. Only way to get it is to upgrade to either of these editions.

    That being said, since your lappy has a TPM, you can use any number of 3rd party options like TrueCrypt.
