I don't know, but they might use it internally, or have goals of  
using it/supporting its growth.
Mono makes a lot of sense and has progressed pretty well. Lots of  
developers who already know the MS technologies can then leverage  
what they know to create things for other platforms.
Mono  developers can create things that work on Windows while working  
on another platform.
Google definitely likes open source. They've got the brains to use it  
and keep their licensing costs low.
