Honestly, I'm not sure if there any any 'Softies left who get invested
in the ol' team-sports tribalism; it's been nigh-on 15 yrs. since Satya
gutted the old guard, and nothing about Win11 gives any suggestion of a
development staff who're actually invested in the end product. Old-
school freenix die-hards might well be the only ones still carrying the
torch for that rivalry, at this point.
