Actually any pc (with the right software). Linux boxes and Macs also. They just have some deal with Intel to promote Viiv. Suitable software includes Viiv, WMP 11, Tversity, Twonky and EyeConnect (beta). There may be others, as well. Music and picture streaming are supported now, video later. A network connection is also needed for video on demand.
