The idea of Mono is to achieve something like the (relative) platform-independence of Java.
Now, I don't consider Microsoft evil, but it is not in their interest, and certainly not in their game plan for .NET to promote cross-platform portability despite whatever announcements are being made.
You'd be very naīve to believe that MS would not block any move that threatened their profits of Windows, so go figure what the point of .Net is.
