I can't speak for Massachussetts, but in Washington state non-competes have to be narrowly tailored resulting in them being relatively hard to enforce.

Didn't Microsoft choose to sue Google in Washington, when Google hired Kai-Fu Lee? http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/20/technology/microsoft-sues-...
