Ahh so there was a plan B.
In my opinion it would be best for Mono and those who are relying on their tech if Microsoft was indeed behind the financial backing. Not only because there's less chance of any patent problems concerning the parts outside of the community promise, but perhaps more importantly that if Microsoft is behind this then it is as a way to provide C#/NET cross platform availability and not to make money. On the other hand if this is funded by venture capital, Mono will need to generate profits sooner or later and this seems to have been something they haven't been able to do so far.
Again, great for those relying on Mono tech.
