By
The folks at the INQ seem to think so with their opinion article titled, "Intel Viiv is stupid and broken." In this article, they explain why enthusiasts will never be able to legally build an official Viiv platform PC. Mainly because Viiv depends on Microsoft"s Media Center which you can not buy without an OEM PC.
Let’s start off with the stupid, the logo program. We told you about the sillyness that you need to get the logo. Basically you need Microsoft, and only MS Media Center Intel cut Linux out as they promised not to, an all Intel platform, chip, chipset, and drivers, and then get it certified. You will see the logo cropping up all over the place, Intel is putting a lot of money behind it.
