					<description><![CDATA[a reader at MacDailyNews that covered this Architosh story said something that is likely very true: 

This isn’t an advert designed to sway Mac users into buying Boxx instead. It’s purpose is to keep it’s existing Boxx customers happy by making them think that they have made a clever decision.

When you’re selling high-end computers, the vast majority of your customers will have a very good understanding of what they need and will understand the pros and cons of alternatives. Such people are not going to change their minds after watching an advert.

What adverts of this type do is to demonstrate that Apple is the brand that other manufacturers are worried about.

					<description><![CDATA[NorthSaanichBC -- as funny as the ad can get in both directions, however, there are legitimate concerns over the lack of CUDA and Nvidia optional support. Apple should have developed a technology strategy for those custom twin-GPU riser cards such that any mfr. could produce an slot-loaded option within the thermal design limits. I can&#039;t for the life of me understand why Apple seems to feel that serving its pro customers either ATI/AMD or Nvidia but not both at the same time is acceptable. On the other hand, it is really nice to see twin workstation class GPU options in a Mac Pro…especially scaling at three stop points.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That Boxx commercial is a bit dishonest in some of the things it says or implies.

But the REALLY funny thing is that you see the small, and silent Mac Pro being easily carried to the table, while the guy promoting Boxx PCs doesn&#039;t have one of his Boxxes with him to show in the commercial.

That&#039;s because Boxx is just that. Big, heavy, noisy, boxes that look like any other huge, poorly engineered PC. It obviously would have been much to embarrassing for Mr. Cowboy Hat to try to carry in the Boxx computer he was talking about, and put it on the table beside the Mac Pro... if the table could hold the weight without collapsing.

And it is understandable why they are talking outside the office, instead of at their work stations. The Mac Pro is completely silent (a huge benefit for anyone editing audio), but the Boxx (even with its water cooling) is noisy as hell.]]></description>
