It's mostly only in tightly integrated systems. Some Sony and Acer all in one systems have similar features, but so far they've just reused the code from their laptops so everything pretty much just works.

In most cases these features aren't things that prevent booting (people still expect most hardware to install unmodified versions of Windows), there'll just be some extra hardware that won't work.
