Well... I've played with technological preview of Monad. Being bash addict, I must however admit, that Monad offers functionality beyong imagination of modern Linux shells. It passes objects through pipes instead of text and is strictly object oriented. It uses a model of namespaces, so in Windows, you are able to browse registry, file systems, environment variables, etc. in unified way.
The authors claim, that it's modelled after the VMS shells. VMS seems to regain its fame in Microsoft, with Windows NT kernel being originally designed by Dave Cutler - a VMS guru.
Could he? Well, Ximian did not make money by implementing Mono. Mono is a good thing, great project, etc. but it's not the best business plan for a start-up company. And in my opinion, commercial backend is really important for an open source project of this kind.
Anyway, we shall see if those anti-monopoly bodies would allow that acquisition, either.
As if you put together exploit to OpenSSH, it would affect everything from Linux (pick your favorite distro) to secure toaster.
This is not about portability for end-users, but about portability for game developers. That's the same thing as with CLI (what you probably meant when you wrote.NET).
Common Language Infrastructure and Microsoft.NET begin to see wider acceptance, take Novell for example. Long time, I considered Ximian Mono a toy, but those guys really use it for production apps.
I'm looking forward to see more projects like this. Nevertheless, another important issue is that this all is also about locking people to Microsoft HW/SW, which is inherently bad.

Monad really rocks and is worth trying.
If you put your head into a microwave, the least thing you'd care about would be your fillings.

Time will tell.
There is no such thing as Win32 drivers.
