There are no concrete short term plans. At some point we defenitely will support it, though a timeframe is hard to give right now.

To answer the question literally: Unity will never use .NET, since .NET is Windows-only.

What about the Ninja camp project 'Supporting any .NET compiler' ( http://blogs.unity3d.com/2011/03/22/the-ninja-have-assembled/ )?

Not sure what that would entail, but any use of .NET would limit a project to Windows stand-alone only (no Web, iOS, Mac, Android, etc.).

This is the roadmap of Mono:

You can see that .NET 4.0 is still under development. I don't know if Unity always comes with the newest version of Mono though.

Unity rarely updates Mono. It's a lot of work and can break stuff, so they probably won't update it again until Unity 4.

I was thinking that hungerGMR was meaning of Unity using the Microsoft framework 4.0. and not a new mono version that has approximately the same features. Because even the .NET 3.5 is not fully supported by mono right now and they are not interoperable....

Unity seems to have also cut some parts out of Mono 2.6 that is in Unity 3, because of iOS compatibility.
