It's not clear how much this is going to stick. When Google became Alphabet the leadership came up with the idea that employees would refer to each other as "characters", but I can count on one hand the number of times I saw that in 4 years at Google. Also, Microsoft's demonym is "Microsoftie" which is no better and didn't seem to be too popular among folks I knew there.

It is certainly popular enough in the Seattle area at places that are not Microsoft. There are enough ex-MSFT people floating around (really, a lot of them) that you hear it often.
