Well, Red Hat is sortof Microsoft-ish, except for a few minor points:

Microsoft started by stealing from Apple, IBM and Xerox
Red Hat started out by stealing Linus Torvald's OS, but Linus was smart enough to put it under the GNU, which meant Red Hat wasn't about to start hosing the Linux crowd.

Whereas MS buys up good technology and turns it sour, RH buys up good technology and makes it marketable.

RedHat is doing a lot of good, and aren't monopolizing Linux in any way (I mean, there are a million and one versions, how can they be winning?), whereas MS has taken the entire PC market and put it in it's pocket.

RedHat is simply making money and providing a very useful service, and helping the Linux uprising by providing some normalization among drivers and apps and the like. MS is making us all use what they made because it's what they made, despite it's inferiority.
