"Micro$oft" and "M$" are satirical names for Microsoft, generally used by people who dislike Microsoft or disapprove of its business practices. The dollar sign symbolises Microsoft's presumed focus on making money, rather than producing good software. The term is often used to contrast Microsoft, as a commercial company, with the free software and open source movements.
