Microsoft takes over Huawei notebook sales online

Microsoft announced Monday the resumption of Huawei notebook sales on its website after a shutdown of several weeks.

This action reflects the evolving dynamics of US companies that have been dealing with Huawei, which is caught in the midst of the growing tension of trade between the United States and China. This transfer is a sign of cooperation with a revenue-generating company for Windows, which is still at the heart of Microsoft's business despite its focus on cloud computing products.

Last month, a government agency limited the way US companies could sell products to Huawei, and soon after, Microsoft's supply of devices like the MateBook X Pro disappeared. The agency then relaxed the restrictions for 90 days, resulting in a change in the way Google would collaborate with Huawei during this period. Huawei Matebook laptops are available again.

"We are assessing and will continue to address the many commercial, technical and regulatory complexities that arise from the recent addition of Huawei to the US Department of Commerce's Export Administration Regulations list of entities. we are resuming the sale of existing inventory of Huawei devices on the Microsoft Store, "a spokesperson for Microsoft in CNBC told CNBC.

In addition, Microsoft said it would continue to provide software updates to Huawei devices that people now own.

"We remain committed to delivering exceptional customer experiences." Our first assessment of the US Commerce Department's decision regarding Huawei indicated that we could continue to offer Microsoft software updates to customers with Huawei devices. " said Microsoft.

The comments come after Huawei told CNBC that it could have its own operating system for laptops this fall.

Microsoft earns revenue when companies pay Windows licenses for the devices they produce. Revenues from these customers grew 9% from last quarter, while Windows accounted for 16% of total revenues.

In recent weeks, other US companies have reduced their revenue forecasts as they expect to sell less to Huawei.
