Microsoft has been dead money for a decade, and it has seen its best. If a relatively low divvy is enough to attract you, then go for it. They have missed the mobile computing boat and releasing Windows 8 for tablets in a year or more from now is not going to be terribly helpful to them.

If they can maintain a good dividend growth rate, then maybe a case can be made, but there are better regulated monopolies out there for me to put money into a declining unregulated monopoly - and I am talking about their Office suite here, not their OS business which is slowly bleeding market share.
