Well, first of all, it should be noted that the "$" sign is generally
associated with greed for money (Like "Make $$$ fast.") etc. so this
is what
people are implying by writing "M$" instead of "MS". By associating
the "$"
sign with Microsoft, one implies that either Microsoft is negatively
greedy
(which may be the case, but all good companies, including the open
source
ones, want to have profits too, and there's nothing wrong with
that), or that
the "$" sign is negative just like Microsoft is perceived to be (and
are to a
large extent).
Actually the Dollar sign, was originally written with 2 vertical
lines. It was the monogram of "US" (United States).
As for writing an operating system, you might as well give up it. It's
already done. You can (actually have to) buy Solaris from Larry
Ellison, a Jew.
This eliminates the need to toivel the disks, even if they contain
"hot" fixes. And since it must be bought (open solaris is on its way
out, and there are no more free licenses for solaris), the talmudic
requirment to pay a fair price for something is fulfilled.
