Although it is great that they are funding Mono and distributing silverlight on other platforms, I hardly think this is for altruistic purposes. They have a history of strongly pushing people towards their OS and platform and then ending support for third party tools (e.g. IE on Mac). I think moving towards something utilizing the power of HTML 5 and Javascript is the way to go long term.
