Google also allegedly stopping hardware makers from selling hybrid devices

From V3:

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the Taiwanese firm has postponed plans to sell its latest Transformer Book Duet TD300, as well as dropping its Transformer AiO P1801 and P1802 dual operating system (OS) devices. Internal memos leaked to the WSJ claimed that Microsoft's "new policy" was one which did not support dual OS devices.

Microsoft denied the reports, however. A spokesperson said, "Our policies have not changed, Microsoft will continue to invest with OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] to promote best-in-class OEM and Microsoft experiences to our joint customers."
