Intel Branding Media Center PCs as "Viiv"

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the tune-in dept.

ChessKnught writes "Dan Ackerman posted a blog on Blog.CNET.com regarding Intel Developer Forum chatter about Intel's branding of it's Media Center PC. Don McDonald, one of Intel's Digital Home Group Sr. VP's, is talking about 'Viiv', apparently targetting entertainment PC users. It looks like it'll be combining CPU, Intel hardware (TV tuner, remote, and easy setup wireless home networking, etc.) and Windows Media Center Edition."

    Anyone else read that as concatenated Roman numerals? cat ("Vi","iV") indicating the number 64? 64 bit architecture there somewhere?

    In other news, I'll be discussing the meaning of "I Bury Paul" from Magical Mystery Tour in a future blog entry. (Where's my roll of tinfoil?)
