The discussion here reminds me so much of early C# days. It was being touted as open source and cross platform back then, and Microsoft even hired a top GNOME developer to port it to Linux and GNOME was going to be rewritten in C#. It was going to be amazing. Never quite panned out.

Microsoft never had anything to do with that with nice story full of butterflies.

The only UNIX Microsoft has ever supported during pre-Satya days, was Rotor for FreeBSD, nothing else.

Mono and DotGNU had nothing to do with Microsoft until Xamarin acquisition.
