Microsoft, which has rented booth space at the show, continues to grapple with the rise of Linux. Its strategy has shifted over the years, said Pete Houston, Microsoft's senior director server strategy.

The strategy then changed to a rebuttal on technological terms, and now is shifting again, Houston said.
