Microsoft sues ex-employee who got wooed away to Google Microsoft is suing ex-employee Dr. Kai-Fu Lee for leaving Microsoft to work with the more-buzzed about Google. The noncompete agreement was signed when Lee came onboard to Microsoft back in 2000 and called for Lee to not work for a competitor for a year after leaving Microsoft. No one has been able to reach Lee for comment yet but Google said that the claims Microsoft have been making are "without merit". Not sure how they came to this conclusion since Microsoft would have the docs and Google wouldn't. Maybe Google had a look at the document and found a loophole of sorts. I'm sure we'll hear more as time goes on. It's ok Google, tech pimpin ain't easy, is it?  ¶ 5:11 AM
