Beeing open source and using algorithms other then DES and AES is a big plus, and hidden inner volume is rarely seen functionality. The only problem is that you cannot encrypt stuff like c:\documents and settings\ that usually contains tons of temporary files, so that can be a week spot. So, if you decide to use TC, don't forget to use built-in EFS (proprietary and thus should be avoided), or ppdd/CFS (if you're using Linux) on these folders. Yeah, TrueCrypt rocks!
