After some thinking, I'm starting to think that MS won't actually bother Mono- because the real enemy is not MS, it's the community. Look how many comments Mono and .Net pieces get- much higher than the average article. It seems clear that the real enemy of Mono is the anti-Mono community- it's seemingly everywhere, and may be strong enough to contain Mono.
Benefit to MS? They don't have to do anything and should they feel it's getting too good, a "leak" or "misstatement" in an interview/article, and the community takes it from there.
