Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec

Posted by timothy on from the promises-promises dept.

bonch writes "So it begins...Microsoft is suing Google for wooing away a top executive to work in a China research lab. Microsoft is accusing Kai-Fu Lee of breaking his contract by taking a job within a year of leaving Microsoft, and accused Google of 'intentionally assisting Lee.' Google describes the claims as 'completely without merit' and vows to defend against them."

    Microsoft expected him to stay unemployed for a year after leaving work? Sounds more and more like they're trying to aim their weapons of mass destruction at Google, using lawsuits and the like to cripple their competition.
