Not sure about using TrueCrypt but I know you can't use FileVault 2 on SL. It's pretty low level and a system process. You'd have to upgrade to Lion to get it.

Also, you may want to stop comparing OS X and Windows versions as that's really like apples and oranges.

Just upgrade to Lion after a couple of releases. It always takes a while before all the bugs are fixed. Also do a clean install. That's what I did and haven't had ANY problems at all. You can't judge an OS just by what you hear. You have to try it for yourself.

You can just create an encrypted folder, which might be easier. Go to Utilities>Disk Utility. Then click on 'New Image', then choose your encryption level from the drop down, name the folder, and when you click create it will ask you to enter a password for the folder. Then just move any sensitive documents into there.
