Then why don't they spread it?

If MS were to release a first class .Net offering for other platforms as Sun does with Java with clear licensing I'd be open to its usage. MS does not however distribute .Net on other platforms and Mono is a second class attempt at mimicking it.

MS has nothing to pull because they have not put anything out there. What they could do though is use Mono in their continued patent FUD.

You give a poor example. MS could die and Apple would live on...vice versa. They do not depend on each other nor bolster the sales of each other. Why do you think companies that have products that compete with MS products push those products on other platforms as well. Oracle would be silly to only sell on Windows where MS would control the playing field where they compete with SQL server and so on. Why would the Linux community want to make the same mistake and build an MS led technology into its offerings.


Using Mono is fine....making Linux dependent on it is not.
