Microsoft rifles ex-employee's (Windows) trashcan
Gavin Clarke writes in The Register:
Once again, a major industry case involving Microsoft is getting dirty as investigators rifle trashcans. Only this time, it's the trashcan in Windows.
A document recovered from the Recycle Bin of ex-Microsoft vice president Kai Fu-Lee's PC has apparently revealed a belief that Microsoft could sue over Google's decision to hire Lee.
According to a report, the discarded document said Google would place Lee on a leave of absence or give him a consulting position for up to a year should Microsoft try to prevent Lee from working at Google because of his noncompete agreement.
Lee, who founded Microsoft's China R&D operation and who is an expert in natural language interfaces, was hired by internet search giant Google last month. Microsoft promptly filed against Google and Lee citing "egregious violation" of the noncompete clause in his Microsoft contract.
