I am not particularly impressed by their recent strategies; that does
NOT make them a "Microsoft lookalike."

- I don't see Red Hat Software buying out hordes of would-be
  competitors, purchasing products in order to destroy _other_
  competitors.

- I don't see Red Hat Software sending out _any_ 'sales droids,'
  sending them in any time a competing Linux distribution maker
  makes inroads.

- I don't see Red Hat Software having a legal department with budget
  larger than most small countries.

Those are the sorts of things that characterize MSFT; they are _NOT_
things that characterize RHAT.
