From Microsoft to Google
8th Sep 2005, 01:45 GMT
Joe Beda, one of the former Microsoft employees who left to join Google's Kirkland office, reflects on his first year at the search company in this post on his weblog, concluding that he made the right decision. He concludes with something that's particularly interesting in light of the issues raised in the dispute over a different Google hire, Kai-Fu Lee: "Oh yeah, and my non-compete and non-solicit contracts with Microsoft have now expired," Beda writes. "If you are looking for new challenges feel free to send me a resume." (Link via the Mini Microsoft blog.) On the subject of the Kai-Fu Lee case, King County Superior Court Judge Steven Gonzalez finished listening to testimony and arguments today in Microsoft's request for a preliminary injunction against Lee and Google. He's expected to issue a ruling on that request next Tuesday.
