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.
Microsoft's lawsuit against its former executive Kai-Fu Lee and his new employer Google is a "charade" meant to frighten other Redmond workers into staying put, Google and Lee said in court papers filed this week.
Losing the services of Kai-Fu Lee for the rest of this year would have a profound effect on Google's recruiting efforts in China, the search engine company has argued in its legal battle with Microsoft.
The next round in the legal battle between Google and Microsoft over former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee could take place October 14 - unless the companies settle their dispute first.
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.
Ten years ago, Microsoft executives worried that an Internet platform could threaten Windows. The nightmare now has a name: Google.
