Per the mono FAQ "The project will implement various technologies developed
by Microsoft that have now been submitted to the ECMA for standardization" -
as I understand this, all the namespaces that start "System." are unlikely
to be changed by MS (tho they might be changed by ECMA - hopefully they'll
create new interfaces rather than breaking existing).

There's a Java compiler to CLR bytecodes, BTW (never tried it). Also various
compilers to JVM bytecodes. So you can run Java on the CLR (mono or MS), C++
on the JVM, maybe even VB.NET on the JVM.
