It is completely possible that mentioning Windows in the article was meant to be only a smokescreen. I'm sure a person in his position would absolutely not want to publicly declare the exact solution he is using. In reality, it might as well be something completely else, like Slackware or some USB-bootable distro. Yes, this might be security through obscurity but considering that he admitted that he isn't familiar with the inner workings of Truecrypt etc, it is the safest bet. Not disclosing what exactly you are using doesn't allow an adversary with unlimited resources to adapt and optimize to break this specific scheme.
