    What if I don't want microsoft to make money?

    1) You stop using the subject line as part of the comment. No, wait, that's just good netiquette. Don't be that guy!
    2) You should then be 100% behind their entertainment division, which so far has cost them truckloads of cash. Ask them to bring out a phone! And another Zune! And some more shitty input devices! Wait, people buy those.
