Microsoft won's cause a fuss' at conference

摘要

Open-source devotees have been abuzz about Microsoft Corp.'s debut as an official exhibitor at the Linux World Conference & Expo being held this week in San Francisco. But Peter Houston, senior director of Microsoft's server strategy, claimed that the software maker will "not cause a fuss" at its 200-square-foot booth at the rear of the Mos-cone Center's North Hall. Microsoft will simply showcase its existing Services for Unix (SFU) product and Windows Embedded and CE operating systems, along with a Web development tool built with help from its community of beta testers, he said.
