There are many things that mono includes in their Global Assembly Cache (GAC) that Microsoft .NET does not.
Too often folks leave out or forget that mono not only includes System.Windows.Forms but it also includes Gtk and Gnome sharp. Mono includes System.Data.SqlClient but is also has Mono.Data.SybaseClient as well as Npgsql. Mono includes System.Directory but it also includes Novell.Directory.Ldap.
I could continue but, my point is that mono has a lot of things going for it that tracend what Microsoft .Net has in its core offering.
Did I mention it is Open Source?
