News Microsoft offers to settle with Google

Oooh, is that another defeat(ish) for MS?

But MS has a browser too, so does that mean Dr. Lee can't work on the Google Browser? TBH, I don't see a huge relation Google has to MS. Unless Google are planning a new OS?

Goodows or something

 

That's exactly what it means, in fact. Just off the top of my head, Dr. Lee may not be able to work on web browsers, message clients, search engines or operating systems, depending on what he did for MS. And it sounds like that's not what they hired him for anyways.

 

Actually, product development is very much what they hired him for...but, one needs to staff a plant before they can develop anything. So he gets away under the fact that to start his employment, he needed to recruit an entire staff anyway, which should take him a little.

 

Sorry saw this image and found it highly hilarious.

So who is responcible for this MS Paint job.

As I see it Google are likely to want the court case finished ASAP as well, they dont want to be wasting time and money devoted to fighting off the competition in court.
