"ViiV" has been around for a good few months from what I recall and
all I thought it was was a hardware architecture"that Intel developed
and are now pushing, whereby you have cool, quiet and small PC's that
are powerful.  Modern laptop type hardware in a small desktop-like
form factor.

ViiV does not imply any software is provided, you put your own software on top.

That is my take on it all anyways.  I would like a ViiV type box for
my mythtv frontend :)
