Microsoft has already asserted the threat of Linux - there's no need to do it again by purchasing a Linux company.
If the plans of purchasing Red Hat are true, I think the only plausible reason would be to put one of the prime suppliers of Linux out of business one way or the other. (Most probably the the 'other' way)
Microsoft has proven time and time again that they can - *and will* - use their power and intellect in less honorable ways. Too bad, I think that many of their products don't need additional 'help' to survive.
