Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

Java is not better then mono. Also a commercial product. At this moment the JRE and the JDK freely available, and many java clone or similar solution exists (kaffe, gcj + klasspath, etc). But it is also can change in future, let see the ex-caldera SCO: one of oldest and biggest linux company sue the linux.
In other aspect, the C# far better language then java, and the CLR is better idea then java runtime environment: if you start a java application it use one JRE, and if you start a second java application it start an another JRE, etc. It is not too useable for desktop applications.
