I think they would be better off porting C# to other platforms. Their long term strategy of keeping developers locked up on Windows has become counter productive. Developers want / need to develop on Apple and Android platforms as well as Windows. Microsoft has great development tools. It would be better for them to hold onto the developers and share them with other platforms rather than losing them completely. By making their development tools multi-platform they would be bringing many developers to Windows who today want little to do with that platform.
