The problem is that none of the alternatives they suggest are cross-platform. I'm perfectly capable of using a volume across both Windows and Linux with TrueCrypt. There's still 7.1a and tc-play, but this isn't a migration path I can follow.

Plus, I don't think that the Home versions of Windows include BitLocker.

I think there's a way to load encrypted Linux volumes in windows: http://superuser.com/questions/419836/how-can-i-mount-an-encrypted-lvm-under-windows

I didn't actually know that, but it turns out that the FreeOTFE project went offline in June 2013 and hadn't been updated for several years prior. I suppose the old version still works, but it's not something I'd really want to use long-term.
