Porting .NET to Linux will definitely help Microsoft. Perhaps not in direct Windows sales, but in the platform war against Java. Microsoft is already heavily involved in adding .NET support for Python, Ruby, etc. Back in 2000 my university was funded by Microsoft to port our Mercury programming language to .NET. An increased .NET marketshare, will certainly benefit Microsoft. - Raja PS: Oh!
