Probably too difficult logistically to forbid Microsoft
Well that and MS is like a national champion in China. MS is one of the few companies to follow Chinese law and thus, Bing is the only foreign search engine allowed. MS is what China is hoping every other foreign company will emulate. So yeah, no way China is going to go after MS.
*Edit. Heck, MS is expanding in China even amidst the tech war because they love China so much.

If anything USA should be banning MS for national security issues.
Year of the Linux desktop coming as soon as that ban happens
