Microsoft has begun to take a serious look at how its software-as-a-service strategy can be applied to its developer business. Last week Microsoft moved one of its emerging developer tools strategy thinkers, John Montgomery, from a marketing role, and assigned him to the job of helping to figure out just how the software giant should proceed in this space. In a blog post Tuesday, Montgomery said the project he is working on goes by the code name Tuscany. Otherwise, "we'd all start calling it <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1912032,00.asp?kc=ewnws011806dtx1k0000599">Visual Studio Live,</A> which it may or may not be," he said. However, the Apache Software Foundation also has a Web services-related project known as Tuscany.
