A Washington state court judge said he would issue a ruling Tuesday in the US on whether former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee will be allowed to immediately begin setting up a China development center for Google.
Former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee told a judge in Seattle on Wednesday that he was being honest but not necessarily providing a complete answer when asked by Microsoft officials in June whether he planned to rejoin the software giant after a sabbatical.
Attorneys for Microsoft and Google faced off before a state court judge in Seattle on Tuesday, arguing whether former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee should be allowed to start work for the search company before a trial determines whether he violated a noncompete contract.
Opening a new chapter in its rivalry with Google, Microsoft on Tuesday sued the search giant and a former Microsoft executive that Google had tapped to run its China operations.
Google on Wednesday will begin to offer people custom accounts to search over their personal query history, in a move to outdo rivals and endear Web surfers.
