This is not the to do it, why make decisions for everyone, it should be an option a checkbox on the mirowin page, maybe ticked by default.

Chris wants Microwin to be as streamlined as possible, so even if I made this optional, he would probably not accept it. I also think most people who use Microwin won’t want BitLocker, and this doesn’t remove BitLocker you can always enable it later.

I forget when Microsoft added Bitlocker by default but it was only a couple years ago. It caused a bunch of havok for people since it locked them out when certain update happen.

I believe this should be off by default and it was a mistake to enable it by default by Microsoft.
