No Belluzzo for HP
The naming of Mark Hurd as Hewlett Packard's chief executive dashes any hopes for what would have been an intriguing twist in Microsoft's relationship with the big computer maker: Rick Belluzzo, the former Microsoft president, was among those reported to be under serious consideration, along with Hurd, to succeed Carly Fiorina.
Belluzzo, now head of data-storage company Quantum Corp., worked as an HP executive earlier in his career. Now that would have been an interesting choice for the top HP job.
