I own both, but don't consider either exceptional as a pure divi play. However, unlike many of the better dividend payers, both have decent option premiums. I can make more selling covered calls than what the divis pay. Currently I have MSFT Nov 29's and INTC Dec 25's. I don't expect either to get called, but would just buy back in after 30 days if they did. The combination of dividend and covered calls makes both of these attractive.

Thanks Jacob,

I own both INTC & Msft, now....

I initiated a position in MSFT last week, when it dipped under $25....I think we are going to see MSFT become a respectable divvy stock.
