Viiv is alive, but where did it come from?

Intel VIIV logo?

So we were all wondering what the heck this whole VIIV thing is about, and Digital Home Group VP Don MacDonald (no relation to Ronald) comes through with the answer: VIIV is meant to connotate "alive" and "vivacious." Still, there are some other theories holding sway in this great game of Balderdash, such as "a curse in Finnish," "a desk lamp at Ikea," a leftover from the Pentium 5, "livid," "vile," 64 in Roman numerals, a fast ferry service on the island of Yeu (our personal favorite), a name for Bahasa — the language of Indonesia, and a striped cap polo shirt from Nordstrom. So it's Balderdash free-for-all, yo — what do you think VIIV means?
