Mostly due to the security risk. Especially on Windows. Even being a software developer (read: not your average computer user) and taking extra precautions (like click-to-run for java use in browsers) I've still gotten hit by malware that takes advantage of security holes in the Java runtime.

Java being required means this is a complete non-starter for me.

Why hasn't MSFT hired this entire team yet? They want the .Net platform to be pushed as far out as possible and Mono is a great way to do that. Plus it'll give MSFT +1 Open Source.
