Seattle - Microsoft will announce plans to sell a tablet running the next version of the Windows operating system under its own brand, a major departure from its strategy of partnering with computer makers, according to a person familiar with the plans.

The Redmond, Wash.-based company may demonstrate the device Monday at an event scheduled in Los Angeles, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the plans haven't been made public.

The company has said it aims to release the new Windows 8 operating system in time for the holiday season.
