MS ported the core to BSD. At least -partly- for licensing

DotNet has many other -potential- reasons for existing other
than to create an os-dependent system. It's up to you
to ascribe motives to whatever reasons you wish.
It -is- rather clear that 'creating a platform-independent
system' was not -the- core reason, and many would feel that
it was not a significant consideration.

mono project is out there, and functional.

Right. Java runs anywhere... as the -ONE- true language.
If you want to use a different language, too bad.

I think there are legitimate reasons to use other
languages, and dotnet recognizes this.
It's not 'the ONE true solution', but neither is
Java; there is no 'ONE true solution.' **
