LOL @ Microsoft filing a law suit.

Holy sore losers.

The technology market is the most competitive one this side of the earth. Unless Mr. Lee broke any contract specifications, including releasing information to Google regarding Microsoft's research venues and future software development plans, then he is under no obligation to reside at the company. Microsoft is not "above the law" when it comes to making their jobs "attractive to employees." If Google recruited Mr. Lee fairly and Mr. Lee chose to leave Microsoft as a result, then there's nothing that can be said by either parties.

Suck it up Microsoft.


Usually a contract is signed whereby an employee can't leave for a competitor...this seems to be a case just like this I of course don't know the circumstces but MSFT has a pretty good chance of winning this lawsuit depending on how good Google lawyers are and how much are they willing to pay damages.

My mom was sued exactly the same way but it was settled in a pretty silly manner lol...she left one company for a competitor...

I agree with you, wouldnt it be nice that were true Unfortunatly, America is run by corporations with army of lawyers and a big pocket.

To quote someone else on the net discussing this issue..

quote:

....

Wasn't M$ sued by the government, M$ lost, and was ordered to split into 2 seperate companies? What happened? Appeal, appeal, appeal. And wait for a new administration, and new attorney general.

Microsoft is not following the law, they are not even obeying the law. They are using the judiciary to rewrite the laws with selective interpretation.

Think about how involved M$ is with government. How much money do they donate each year to canidates they want? Then when it comes time to appoint judges, there is M$ again. Sooner or later, M$ will end up in a court with a judge they hand selected. It is the same method the Mafia used, get their thugs in positions of government.

If Microsoft was held accountable for every contract they broke, they would cease to exists.
...


..and then people say my dislike of Microsoft is weird.. pfft.. blah! ..It's beyond their bad software and monopolistic practises. These fukcers represent a big part of what is wrong with this world.

In this case, about the contract issue with Mr. Lee, I dont know, It could go either way. There are non compete contracts for executives so M$ might have a chance/point in going after Lee. But after Google? The contract was between Lee and MS. MS is just jelous that all its best employees want to work at Google now, because Yes, Google is the "hip" place to work at now, no longer MS. MS wants to attack them however way it can.

Let the battle begin..

Same as when my mom left a corporation of hospitals for a smaller community hospital and they caused a ruckus. There's always elements of sore loser to this kind of stuff. I'm sure Microsoft regrets seeing Mr. Lee go, but I'm sure they're not at a loss to have the ability to fill that position.

See thats the problem, they are hard to come by.

Mr. Lee was highly respected in his field. I remember reading an article on how M$ was going to tackle google, and they had appointed him especially to take on Google.

Articles:

Gates: Good Techies Are Hard to Come By

GATES VS. GOOGLE - Search and Destroy

^^ that article is absolutly awsome. Its really long though, but a great read. It really show how scared MS is of Google.
