Microsoft Corp. has reworked its Web-based services strategy, shifting tactics from an initial plan to act as the main gatekeeper for customer data, to providing basic software to let companies build their own versions of such services, the company said on Thursday. In March 2001, Microsoft unveiled a strategy to provide consumer and corporate Web services that would store personal data like passwords, address books and credit card numbers in a huge central database.
