Microsoft is suing former executive Lee Kai-Fu for breaching his agreement with Microsoft and working for Microsoft's rival, Google in China. While Google marches on and creates new software and applications at an unprecedented pace, Microsoft is scared in its pants, because it can't seem to beat Google.
Even Ballmer has advocated that in 18 months or so, that Microsoft will reach the same level in search technology with that of Google, somehow I feel that is skeptical. Microsoft alleges that Lee has "direct knowledge of Microsoft's trade secrets concerning search technologies and China business strategies" and his position at Google is "focused on the same set of technologies and strategies for a direct competitor in egregious violation of his explicit contractual obligations".
There you go, what to make of this? Microsoft will do anything to keep its secret sauce.
