Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates was so unhappy that Kai-Fu Lee was leaving the company for Google that he told Lee to expect a lawsuit from Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, Lee said in court filings this week.
"Steve is definitely going to sue you and Google over this," Gates said, according to the filings. "He has been looking for something just like this, someone at a VP [vice-president] level to go to Google. We need to do this to stop Google."
