We already have. It's called ECMAScript. The only thing missing to
make it a great truly great VM is GOTO, but it actually *does* have
GOTO, it's just spelled funny: E-X-C-E-P-T-I-O-N.

Here is just a small excerpt of the languages that target ECMAScript: 

* CIL bytecode (meaning any CLI language, and that includes Ruby, 
  Python, PHP, Perl, Scheme, Prolog(!), ... can run on ECMAScript), 
* JVM bytecode (meaning any JVM language, and that includes Ruby, 
  Python, PHP, Scheme, ... can run on ECMAScript), 
* YARV bytecode (meaning any YARV language, and that *obviously* 
  includes Ruby can run on ECMAScript), 
* any language implementation that uses PyPy (including Python, 
  Smalltalk, Prolog), 
* Clojure, 
* C, 
* Flapjax, 
* Caja, 
* Objective-J, 
* Clamato, 
* haXe and
* links.

This not a problem if you explicitly target Mono. Also, while Mono
does not implement the entirety of .NET, it *does* implement the
entirety of ECMA-334 aka ISO/IEC 23270 (C#) and ECMA-335 aka ISO/IEC
23271 (CLI).

It's also not entirely true: in several areas, .NET is several steps
behind Mono: modularity (developing the CoreCLR for Silverlight was a
major effort, while Mono was modular from day one),
Compiler-as-a-Service (available in Mono for over a year, planned but
not even announced yet for .NET 5 or 6), iPhone support (Mono runs on
the iPhone just fine, .NET probably never will), static native
compilation (Mono can compile a .NET application together with the
Mono runtime into a single static native executable, .NET always needs
the .NET runtime installed, even if you use NGen), 64 Bit array
indices (explicitly allowed by the specification, but only implemented
by Mono with no plans by Microsoft), SIMD support (some vague comments
by Microsoft, but nothing even remotely concrete), Continuation
support (no interest from Microsoft)-

Microsoft already helped Mono before they did Silverlight. And even
before Microsoft started helping them, Mono did just fine.

Oh, and Silverlight has already failed. The next version of Office
will be web-based, but it uses only HTML, CSS and ECMAScript. If you
can build MS Office, Google Wave and Sun Research's Lively Kernel
without any plugins, then what the heck *would* you need Silverlight
for?

>  - Software patents?

The ECMA specifications are covered by the Microsoft Specification
Promise. Of course, that doesn't cover the parts not part of the ECMA
specifications, which includes Silverlight.

This was the original goal for replacing SpiderMonkey. However, as it
turned out, Tamarin is heavily biased towards statically typed
languages like ActionScript, which is why Mozilla and Adobe decided to
drop Tamarin, only extract the tracing JIT and duct-tape that onto
SpiderMonkey, producing the current Mozilla ECMAScript engine,
TraceMonkey.

Tamarin sounded like a good idea, when ECMAScript 4 was still the
future, but that died, thank the heavens.

Actually, Flash is also only supported on a tiny fraction of
platforms. Indeed, I believe Mono is actually better in this regard.
For example, Flash 9 was released in 2006, but in 2007, the most
recent version of Flash for Linux was still Flash 7 (released 2003!),
which did not support ActionScript 3 nor Flex.

Also, to this day, Flash for Linux is only available for 32-Bit x86
processors (which is pretty much exactly 0% of computers sold in the
last 2 years, with the exception of netbooks), and only for a small
number of distributions and browsers (excluding, for example, Opera).

Here is just a small excerpt of the languages that target Flash: 

* YARV bytecode (meaning any YARV language, and that *obviously* 
  includes Ruby), 
* C and
* haXe.
