    A good friend of mine is needing a 17" laptop for work, and I suggested the vostro 1700 (don't worry this isn't a "what notebook should I buy") His company IT lady (who didn't seem to know what she was talking about) said that the SafeBoot encryption program would only load on the Dell Latitude line, and not on the vostro. Could anyone explain why that would be the case when they have the exact same operating systems?

    Anything here would be a huge help
