intel supports content protection

>From todays San Jose Mercury:
        Intel's new chip will feature qualities such as computing in
        64-bit chunks instead of today's 32-bits, as well as
        virtualization, so that more than one operating system can be
        run simultaneously. ==>Built-in hardware encryption will provide
        better security.<==
        
Does this mean that future operating systems will support actual
**working** content protection schemes?
