I havent tried it personally but IT say too many issues with mono at
moment, missing pieces, etc. Might be worth watching if MS doesnt
figure out how to torpedo it. But for moment, jre is installed and stable
anywhere I need it. IT havent put mono anywhere and don't have any plans to
either.

Compared to Java?? What do you use as IDE as matter of interest? (Not
that I am actaully a great fan of java but java servlets sure are handy and
netbeans guis work well cross-platform).
