In spite of its marketing clout, Intel's vision of a platform for Media Center PCs - Viiv - has not really captured the mind share and crucially, the market share for digital entertainment like how its Centrino branding has become associated with notebooks. More than a year after its introduction, with the initial publicity long gone, the market has greeted the new entrant with a little indifference. Perhaps that has to do with the still-niche status of digital entertainment PCs, or it could be the feeling that the sum of its parts isn't particularly different from any other reasonably capable modern PC. There still isn't really a compelling reason to jump on the concept just yet, but despite it, all Viiv continues to evolve.
