As others have said there seems to only be a single Word document Microsoft have published on the "Windows Platform Binary Table". I then found the following MSDN Forums question (with posts between 2013-07-16 and 2013-07-18) about how to implement WPBT by someone with the username "kevinwu1980". A Google search for "kevinwu1980 lenovo" gave me this (the page is now a redirect). If that MSDN Forums post is by the same guy then Lenovo was likely working on this in mid-2013:

- chuckup 11y agoWow, nice find! Also, I see Microsoft has updated that document in the last two weeks, apparently due to Lenovo's use of it. http://news.lenovo.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2013 http://news.lenovo.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2013 "a security vulnerability that was discovered ..by an independent security researcher, Roel Schouwenberg... As a result of these findings, Microsoft recently released updated security guidelines...on how to best implement this Windows BIOS feature."
