I own a Dell XPS 400 system. It's their first computer using Viiv and I must say it's not really a big deal. The only things it does are Quick Resume (which I never use anyway because something always goes wrong with suspend modes) and the onboard soundcard (but with hardware acceleration down you hear some terrible scretching, possibly because it's not any good)
It wouldn't even pass the Viiv testing when I used the Intel Viiv Technology Test Utility. Eventually I found that getting drivers from Intel, rather then Dell made the thing work correctly. What a joke!
