Re: Yes this is their Hongmeng OS
Just because a company is big, that doesn't mean they will be perfect.
I think that you misunderstood my argument here. It's not that Huawei is big, it's that it's no startup. It's not that it's definitely immune from error because it's big, but that it is less likely to ignore such fundamental issues.
Saying that they might have some trouble trying to update a billion devices in the field to something that might be an entire replacement of the operating system is a very sensible worry, born out by the experience of trouble that happened every other time such a massive change was attempted.
But then again, the risks Huawei are taking with such a mass deployment are large. This means that it has warranted some research attention with regards to the possibility of FUBARs. Doesn't mean that they are absolutely perfect and nothing is going to be amiss, but that it's unlikely that they'd just totally ignore that risk.
