What gives Microsoft the right to go to an independent business like a
computer OEM and dictate to them how they can or can't sell computers to
their customers?

Given that the EC comprises democratically elected representatives of
the people, and Microsoft is just a self-interested exploiter of the
people, I'd say the EC wins that argument hands down.
