Yes , that is , the big problem is devs uses a lot of windows-only API in .net applications.

Technical sense ? Maybe , but not in ethical sense. Monodevelop is a free software product .It Is better to use a free software product to run a free software product.

Novell does not like mono .Novell likes .NET framework.

.NET windows apps uses proprietary API like directx

Incorrect, unless you deliberately link in DirectX.

I don t see tutorials about to use mono for windows as alternative to .net framework.

I guess I must have imagined this...

Novell recommends .NET framework to run monodevelop.

... on Windows, yes. It makes a lot of technical sense to use what's there.

Mono does not help “interoperability”
.NET windows apps uses proprietary API like directx .It’s not possible to run theses apps in linux because proprietary APIs which runs only in windows .

Mono is not helping the user to have more freedom.I don t see tutorials about to use mono for windows as alternative to .net framework.
In fact novell helps microsoft .Novell recommends .NET framework to run monodevelop.

Better Team Mono concentrates on the iPhone rather than on Linux.
