I could see Microsoft acquiring Red Hat. Nearly every company that I've worked for purchases MSFT licenses and RedHat licenses. If MSFT acquired them, it would allow them to offer either option in the enterprise. Also, Microsoft's cash cow isn't Windows, it's Office and Outlook. So an acquisition of Red Hat might give them an opportunity to make inroads into Linux with those products. Last but not least, there's plenty of Linux running on Azure, a RedHat acquisition could play into that strategy.
