Microsoft has become the latest company to take a stand from Huawei, a Chinese long-standing technology conglomerate that is committed to President Donald Trump's new executive order to restrict Chinese technology companies.
Google withdrew Android license from Huawei over the weekend, but Microsoft has been silent about it will prevent the Chinese company from obtaining Windows licenses, refusing to provide any statement on its position.
The MateBook X Pro is one of the best Windows laptops available in the United States at present, but without a Windows license, it will not be a replacement for Apple's MacBook Pro, HP Specter x360, or Microsoft Surface.
It seems that Microsoft has stopped selling the Huawei MateBook X Pro in its online store, after the administration of President Donald Trump prevented US suppliers from selling technology to Huawei.
The MateBook X Pro product page mysteriously disappeared. Searching for Huawei devices does not show any results in the Microsoft store, but the page can still be found through the cached version of Google's Google Cache, with the search history set last week.
Microsoft's potential Windows ban may affect Huawei's server solutions, and Microsoft and Huawei are working on a mixed cloud solution for Microsoft Azure, using Microsoft-approved Huawei servers.
Intel and Qualcomm have to follow the orders of the US government. Although Huawei has developed its smart processors and modem devices, Intel supplies them with server chips and processors for its laptops, and it is reported that Huawei has been storing the chips, so it is ready for such a ban for three Months.
In recent years, Huawei has developed alternatives to both Windows and Android, but it is not clear how these operating systems evolve. Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, recently disclosed that the company prefers to work with Google and Microsoft.
Huawei has received a 90-day grace period from the US Department of Commerce allowing US suppliers to continue to provide updates to Huawei's Android phones, and to maintain the ongoing operation of existing networks and equipment.
But it is clear that this grace period does not apply to Windows licenses for laptops, and its products are not excluded from the computer.
Huawei announced that it will now sell the Windows laptops of Huawei's retail partners and will also continue to provide security updates and after-sales services for the products.
China's ZTE was forced to shut down its operations last year after the US trade embargo - for violating sanctions against Iran and North Korea - caused it to suffer.
Although the United States lifted its ban three months later, ZTE's reputation and brand have been severely damaged as a result.
