2. ACPI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI

   Windows operating systems use acpi.sys [28] to access ACPI events. The 2.4 series of the Linux kernel had only minimal support for ACPI, with better support implemented (and enabled by default) from kernel version 2.6.0 onwards. [29] Old ACPI BIOS implementations tend to be quite buggy, and consequently are not supported by later operating systems.

   Advanced power management (APM) is a technical standard for power management developed by Intel and Microsoft and released in 1992 [1] which enables an operating system running an IBM-compatible personal computer to work with the BIOS (part of the computer's firmware) to achieve power management.

   In computing, Intel's Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) is a family of programmable interrupt controllers.As its name suggests, the APIC is more advanced than Intel's 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC), particularly enabling the construction of multiprocessor systems.

5. Windows Management Instrumentation - Wikipedia

   WMI extensions for WDM offer a set of Windows device driver interfaces for instrumenting data within the driver models native to Windows, so OEMs and IHVs can easily extend the instrumented data set and add value to a hardware/software solution. The WMI Driver Extensions, however, are not supported by Windows Vista and later operating systems. [11]

6. UEFI - Wikipedia

   In Windows, if Secure Boot is enabled, all kernel drivers must be digitally signed; non-WHQL drivers may be refused to load. In February 2013, another Red Hat developer attempted to submit a patch to the Linux kernel that would allow it to parse Microsoft's authenticode signing using a master X.509 key embedded in PE files signed by Microsoft.

   It was jointly developed by Microsoft and 3Com Corporation and is mostly used in Microsoft Windows.However, the open-source NDISwrapper and Project Evil driver wrapper projects allow many NDIS-compliant NICs to be used with Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
