Some investors are viewing Microsoft as a bargain after uncertainty about its investment strategy and development delays pushed the software giant's share price to three-year lows.

Value investors see Microsoft's latest woes as a chance to buy a cash-rich technology company boasting two dominant software franchises--the Windows operating system and Office business software--on the cheap.

"Microsoft is definitely cheap right now," said Morningstar equity analyst Toan Tran. "If you're a long-term, patient investor, you're buying one of the great businesses in the world at a very cheap price right now."
