> Do you think anyone who is ready and willing to use encryption on Windows is incapable of switching to linux?

Yes, because I know people who fit that exact profile. Just Friday I was talking to a person who had found TrueCrypt a few years ago and used it ever since, who wanted my help with what the dramatic website shutdown meant for them. "Just switch to Linux" certainly would not have gone over well.

The set of all people who (a) cannot afford Windows Ultimate (b) rely on Windows-only software and (c) want encryption is non-negligible.
