How would we know if this will affect us? I have been running Linux distros for 20 years and didn't know Microsoft was involved at any level in firmware.

As a rule of thumb, if you run any PC hardware at all, then Microsoft is involved in it.

Maybe, but what about units supplied by a Linux builder? My last computer was a windows machine I installed Linux on, but that was before this I think. It shipped with windows 7.
