WPS office + HarmonyOS will likely become dominant

my experience of asian software development is they simply build enterprise for the users, how the users want it. rather than trying to shape consumer behaviour. in some ways it could be argued that it is less innovative, but when big orgs figure out a USD$500 laptop running WPS+Harmony + email client can replace msft enterprise contracts a lot of asia co's will never go back

culturally homogenous dev teams producing software for a culturally homogenous market is quite powerful. then outsiders will adapt. rather than winslop focus on support everything, localise to every market, hardware, whatever

i see future of:

HarmonyOS or MacOS for corps then misc tablet systems

this will acelerate with hardware shortages making unified OS+hardware product like huawei or macbook more competitive
