Quote:After previously removing Huawei products from its own stores, Microsoft makes another step towards complying with the government order banning the Chinese firm from working with American companies.
Microsoft has stopped providing Huawei with Windows licenses, according to a report from SCMP, which means that the Chinese tech giant can no longer launch new products running this operating system.
As per the government order signed by President Trump earlier this month, Huawei is not allowed to use products developed by American companies, and these include both Android and Windows. Google has already revoked Huawei’s access to Android licenses, and now Microsoft is doing the same for Windows.
Huawei uses Windows for its lineup of laptops, so now that it can no longer install the operating system on new devices, it is expected to make the switch to its in-house built platform.
Neither Microsoft nor Huawei confirmed the report at the time of writing this article.
