and now that he has left, gone to work somewhere else, what's to stop him from going to Apple shortly and saying "You know that deal we talked about awhile back" ?

The fact that it would still be all over the internet.
Steve said Shit, fuck jack ass, kiss my ass, called people losers and so forth. Steve was a very aggressive and intimidating man when he wanted to be. Going off on a rage and firing a whole department. Now I am not trying to point out all of Steve's bad traits (to make him a bad man) but when you make him to be a loving calm mild mannered man, well that don't quite fit. He was all of them. Not just short of a monk. Really! He was very aggressive and yet he was very kind. Further more unless we lived with him we really didn't know steve. So you and my opinion doesn't make steve. Only his wife and all who worked close to him daily knew him. So when you want to make me believe who he was based on your opinion. No. I will go with what I hear from the people who were close to him. When they say he was a Buddhist Monk then I will believe it. And no I don't believe you are saying he was a Buddhist monk. But his Buddhist faith didn't make him through and through. Steve made him self through and through.
Firing incompetent employees is certainly better than promoting, which is the method most widely used today.
Without a non-compete agreement, is this not restraint-of-trade?
There has to be a non compete agreement there. Microsoft has a ton of secrets on how it manages its data centers. i would think they would not want apple getting them.

The NCA would indeed drive all of this (nothing mentioned in AI article). Why would Timmons think he could just leave and work for Apple? Why would Ballmer have to call Apple? With the NCA, I would think in-house MS counsel would send a legal notice to Apple counsel and be done with it.
It's too bad he couldn't have been a bit diplomatic/reassuring to his old bosses about keeping their secrets. Apple needs some server side gurus, they are historically weak in this area. Maybe they could try poaching some Google or Amazon guys.
I find it interesting that this guy wasn't poached. He weren't to Apple on his own
Guru is more in keeping with Steve's Buddhist philosophies. Revolution has negative connotations - evolution is more palatable and more consistent with Apples measured, well thought out, and steady improvement methodology. Building upon success usually works better than tearing down and replacing, just look at HP or Netflix as a current example of what not to do.
Yeah as in Guru You........I'm reading the book Steve.

Ballmer is such a douche bag. I seriously wish that guy would have the massive heart attack he deserves and just die.

Wow, that's harsh. I love Ballmer. As long as he's in charge, Microsoft is no competitive danger to anyone.
