Comment 50 for bug 1773457

Any updates on this? This is really critical in my opinion. My user case:

- I work in a large, 1st rank university.

- Unfortunately, moronic administration decides that the default system is mac, or if specific programs needed Windows, for laptops (we have RedHat desktop PCs though).

- However, our IT has a tradition of allowing people to drift their own laptops, and they used to say yes to letting us be roots and buying what we wanted to dual boot Windows / Ubuntu. We do need windows in my group, so the only option is dual boot Windows / Ubuntu.

- Since the option to have encrypted Ubuntu at installation side by side with Windows in just one click has disappeared, we have had an epidemic of people techies enough to use Ubuntu, but not techies enough to understand / care about encryption etc, installing non-encrypted Ubuntu on the side of windows. IT has learnt about it, and was furious (this is a violation of the IT agreement we sign together with our work contract since it is a clear security breach), and has now forbidden people to install ubuntu / drift university laptops on their own.

- This means that we more or less cannot use Ubuntu any more until the one click encryption side-by-side with windows is back, and IT gets cool again. Really annoying. People either need to buy a separate laptop, and / or stop having ubuntu and move to mac.
