Yes, I've heard of Mono. However, I don't think it is production-quality yet (please correct me if I'm mistaken). Also, don't they only concentrate on the CLR, C#, and some class libraries? This alone doesn't make an OO middleware platform. You need the protocol, services, deployment tools, etc.
The other problem I have with .NET is that Microsoft made it quite clear that they "want to protect their intellectual property," meaning that Mono could run into a patent minefield and therefore never take off on any platform other than Windows
