That is really a pity - the IBM I needs as much software as it can get, and
Mono would make a lot of a difference.

A port wouldn't be needed if Mono could run there :-)
IBM did get it done on PASE, just wouldn't release it to open source.

No, there was never a version of Microsoft Server that ran _directly_ on any
version of POWER. You might be thinking of the various Intel cards
(IXS) that were on the system and used network servers and storage areas to
run. I have one on my 810 at V5R4 right now.
Microsoft has refused to allow a port to POWER and will not support it if it
is done. More importantly, not nearly enough customers are asking for it to
push IBM into a position where they would care enough to work it out with
Microsoft. For its part IBM could get it done very quickly if the market
demanded it and Microsoft indicated they would support it.
