Did you ever ask you, why MS was forced to develop .NET? At that time (at least) they
believed in the future of Itanium and that would break compatibility, the thing MS did a
really good job and that for people love MS. To save compatibility with different CPUs -
and to be free for substantial changement on the OS - they introduced .NET. Free
software just does not have these Problems and so does not need MONO.
