Huawei is nearly ready to ditch Windows and adopt HarmonyOS as its primary PC operating system. According to Yu Chengdong, who heads the company’s consumer business group, the PCs currently being sold by Huawei will be the last to feature Microsoft’s “Western” OS. The next batch of Huawei computers will include HarmonyOS Next, the upcoming iteration of the operating system, which is expected to launch by the end of 2024.
The operating system will exclusively support its own format of native applications, which, according to the project’s page, include a mix of JavaScript (JS), TypeScript, and an optimized compiler designed to speed up the execution of JS code.

Honestly you may be right. However, China doesn’t have the best reputation and this company in particular has been caught adding hardware backdoors.
Windows is spyware but it isn’t actively malicious to my knowledge. It doesn’t compromise other devices on your network for lateral movement

Shits hilarious to me. 2 weeks ago Microsoft was literally the devil. But throw some blind nationalism into the mix and all is forgiven cuz China bad. Lol.
I guarantee if Hwawei was based in Canada or France or Brazil my above post wouldn’t be quite so controversial.
