I certainly share your hostility towards M$ for suppressing competition.
Red Hat, like M$, is a for-profit corporation, so I share your suspicion
that they want to suppress their competitors (though I don't know who
their competitors are).
But comparing a completely closed-source shop like M$ to any open source
company leaves me feeling uneasy. I can't find the exact argument to
explain my unease, but I'm hoping someone else will jump in with a more
rational argument.
