Short Bytes: In its holiday season advertisement, Microsoft employees are seen hugging the Apple employees. So, what does this mean? Is the timeless Windows Vs. Mac rivalry over?

It’s the holiday season and embracing the spirit of festivity, Microsoft has called for truce with Apple. Well, it might be just for the holidays, but it surely feels good.

In its Microsoft holiday commercial, you’ll see an unusual sight. In this just-over-a-minute video, Microsoft Store employees are seen hugging the Apple employees at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store.

Last year, during the holiday season, Microsoft made ads that compared Surface Pro 3 to MacBook Air. But, this year, things are looking altogether different. This TV spot will run on TV on Dec. 3, featuring Microsoft employees singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”

Take a look at the video below:
