A new Microsoft ad has shown the technology giant offering a festive olive (or should that be holly?) branch to old rivals Apple.

As the ad shows, Microsoft’s aim was to “deliver a special message to some old friends”, with a choir of Microsoft Store employees descending on the Apple Store in New York to serenade them with a Christmas carol.

Could the Mac-PC war finally be over? They did sing Let There Be Peace On Earth after all, but with the iPad Pro having just launched as something of a Surface Pro rival, things could heat up again soon.
