MS: Google Docs in Lee's Recycle Bin
18 Comments
Call it electronic dumpster diving. According to papers filed by Microsoft in a Washington court, the company recovered one of the documents in its case against Google and former executive Kai-Fu Lee from the "Recycle Bin" of one of his computers.
The document apparently says that Google acknowledged possible legal troubles in hiring Lee. If accepted into the case as evidence, it could play a crucial role in proving that Google was fully aware of his contractual obligation to Microsoft, and that the search giant told him to break that contract. As with other matters involving the case with Microsoft, Google declined to comment.
