Not sure where you get that information from, but Bitlocker is pretty secure. The only reason its not used much is because most people don't use Professional or Ultimate (Bitlocker is not available on lesser versions of Windows 7).

If someone is really determined to defeat encryption software they can find the forensic tools to do it. Then the encryption companies try to strengthen their product while others work to defeat the new software. If you do an internet search for "compare bitlocker to truecrypt" you'll find several articles about such forensic software.

Did you mean hardware dependent?
Bitlocker is only limited to Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Windows 7.

Bitlocker normally uses a card called a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) that gets plugged into a special socket on MOBOs that are equipped with the socket (not all are). Alternatively, there is a way to use a USB flash drive to contain the encryption key.

Most modern computers and motherboards should support TPM.
With USB option, wouldn't the user have to enter the key at each boot?
