You are making a big assumption that microsoft will not try
to destroy the MONO project by using its huge patent portfolio
against it.

Leaked internal micorosoft documents suggest that microsoft
will try to do this if it can.

"I have long argued that the entertainment industry doesn't want people to have 
computers. Computers give users too much capability, too much flexibility, too 
much freedom. The entertainment industry wants users to sit back and consume 
things. They are trying to turn a computer into an Internet Entertainment 
Platform, along the lines of a television or VCR. This bill is a large step in 
that direction."
