What about the freedom to make a promise to your employer not to take all of the company's secrets in exchange for a higher salary and/or a better position?

Fair is fair: if this guy made a promise, not matter how ridiculous it might be, he should be made to keep it.

All that said, does Google *really* think they are going to win this kind of war against Microsoft? A company that makes a Google's yearly profits every couple of weeks and wrote the book on predatory hiring? If Google opens the door here, they aren't going to be able to close it. Good luck fellas.
