From the article mentioned in the original post:
Microsoft's practice is facilitated by the UEFI, or Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface, which allows a manufacturer to lock down the boot
process so that it will only work on their specified conditions.
What's to keep Microsoft from telling a manufacturer they must lock down
the machine so no other operating system will boot on it if they want
licenses to install windows on their machines?
