Steven Sinofsky to Leave Microsoft
Wait, Apple fired their top software guy and MSFT's top software guy leaves. Why does this sound like Sinofsky is heading to Apple?

I doubt if he will go to apple. He must be bound by non-compete agreements.

The Microsoft employment contract has a one year non-compete clause. Microsoft has shown that it is willing to enforce non-competes and it is easy to do so under Washington State law.
