Apple provides Recovery Disk Assistant, which is more or less the same thing.
Also, when the SSD in my Macbook Air failed, I was able to netboot their internet recovery thing, which let me install OS X on a USB3 hard drive. Pretty cool.

I see. They have that stuck into Disk Utility now. One point to Apple.
Disk Utility is a bit kludgy nowadays, though, and it seems they're not doing as good a job as MS publicizing the tool. (Too small a sample size here, but I ran across the MS tool by accident while searching/browsing. With Apple, a human had to tell me.)
