Viiv info plus an interesting comment from Intel
Here's the info:

And here is the interesting comment from Intel about DRM:

Quote
Interestingly, MacDonald also told CNET.com.au that Viiv won't be testing to see if the content being played is pirated from networks such as BitTorrent. He believes that it's not Intel's job to be policing downloads and that it's wrong to assume that "all consumers are criminals". As such, Viiv won't test for "watermarks" or other red flags that reveal pirated content, allowing any type of media to be played

It's nice to see some corperations waking up to the fact that DRM is just bad technology that should be buried alive.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
