I don't know how many Linux distros would include something for 
which source is not available in their base distro, especially 
something from MS.  Look at how few distros ship with Java, 
Acroread and Flash in their free editions.  There are free 
software alternatives to all of those but none except xpdf are 
in common use.  The same fate may befall Mono, but not because 
everyone ships the real .NET instead.

I know I'd rather have Mono than MS, but given the choice I'd 
rather avoid both diseases ;)
