Microsoft has successfully enforced its non-competes against at least two California firms, Saleseforce and Google:

"The inherent unfairness of employee non-compete agreements: Judge rules former Microsoft executive can't take new Salesforce job"

"Microsoft Googles 'Non-Compete Agreement'"

The maker of Windows and the Xbox has filed suit over Google’s hiring of a former Microsoft executive.

Google hired Kai-Fu Lee, formerly the corporate VP of Microsoft’s Interactive Services Division, to run Google’s China operations.

Wow, so it would seem that one can't simply move out of state...or even out of the country. That's just wrong.
