Mono is the best option for running .NET apps on Linux/BSD/Unix.

That will greatly reduce your deployment costs. Since MS does not have a monopoly in Servers, they just might port .NET to other platforms as a way to increase market share and reduce the influence of Java. The problem for Microsoft, is the people creating server applications are a lot more savy, especially those that will need thousands of servers to support their application. They will not permit MS to lock them in and control the platform like desktop users. That said, look for MS to leverage the desktop to increase server market share and maintain the desktop monopoly. This is really what many of the technologies in Vista are all about, and this strategy might work VERY well for Microsoft. But, Google might also spoil the party for them by supporting Firefox.
