While this article gets some things right, like non-competes, I must warn that having read a fair amount of Regional Advantage: Culture and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128 by AnnaLee Saxenian, from the viewpoint of someone who rode the Boston area tech scene from the heights of the very late '70s into it's death in the early '90s (what's there now doesn't have much continuity with "Route 128" of legend), she got the Boston side of things so wrong the book is worthless as far as I could tell.
