The software giant (MSFT: news, msgs) plans to announce Monday a new strategy that endorses moves by software developers to focus more on the Internet. Microsoft is expected to unveil plans in San Francisco for Web developers to pull technology components from its MSN Internet site, the Journal said. The Redmond, Wash. company will coin the phrase "megaservices," to describe a host of offerings including an Internet identification and payment technology named Passport.
