Because let me go out on a limb and dare to suggest that M$ won't take RH up on their offer. It's a bit like when Be offered BeOS for free as proof that no vendor could sell a PC without Windows on it.

Now had they demanded that M$ spend 1.1billion on non-Microsoft product, it may have actually meant something. Unless, of course, the company decided to change its name to Micr0soft for the day or something...
