I don't get what this (TCPA now known as TCG) has to do with new Intel
products. This is completely unrelated. A TPM (trusted platform module)
is not going to enable a DRM OS; you need extra hardware changes for
this (see Microsoft NGSCB plans).
I have numerous Linux machines using a TPM and it is not a bad thing.
Some good website regarding Linux support:

BTW it looks like the TPM driver will be included in mainstream linux
kernel; 2.6.12-rc5-mm1 allready has it.

Still all very vague. Does the new Intel processor + chipset provide La
Grande technology?

This website is utter crap: a bunch of lies, not backuped by facts.
Finally, here is Intel press-release, which for obvious reasons does
not mention anything about DRM:

I guess we will have to wait for more technical details.
