“While the operating system won’t support the millions of Windows applications that could run on older Huawei laptops, the company says that at launch it will support more than 2,000 applications including WPS Office (an alternative to Microsoft Office that’s developed in China), and a range of Chinese social media applications.”
US sanctions cut Huawei off from Windows, so its new laptop runs HarmonyOS. It launches with about 2,000 apps. Sanctions meant to slow China pushed it to build its own operating system.
