Mac Viiv at Macworld Expo 2006?

Ynet.co.il (Hebrew) posts about Apple utilizing the Viiv platform for an upcoming computer (Translation by odedia):

...According to rumors, Intel will introduce on Sunday for the first time its new VIIV technology. Apple computers deniced rumors that they will introduce the first intel based laptops in the CES show. However, a source close to Apple agreed to confirm off the record that a first Mac computer based on the VIIV technology will be introduced this coming Monday at the Macworld Expo 2006...


There have been previous suggestions that Apple would be using the Viiv platform.

Is it Tuesday yet? I mean, that's when the keynote is right?

edit: Hey Mac_Freak, how'd your comment get up ahead of mine (or mine get below yours--semantics)? The first time I looked, it was just iGary and I who had posted--strange. Good point either way though.

I'm glad you guys posted this, but why not give credit where credit is due? I sent you guys this link + translated quote a few days ago. A simple credit to odedia would have been nice.

Anyways, I hope this is indeed correct.

And by the way, it's www.ynet.co.il, not www.ynet.co.ul.

Of course it does, Media Edition is the only software currently available that works on the platform.

Maybe they're just keeping their lips sealed on Apple/ViiV.

More likely, Apple will use the ViiV tech from Intel (while using their own DRM instead of Windows DRM--which the rest of the partners will depend on) without calling the whole package ViiV.
