About 43 percent of the respondents felt the most qualified replacement for 
Mark Hurd would come from H.P. or I.B.M., said Jeff Leopold, a managing 
director at Cook. (The survey will be published Monday).

In fact, Todd Bradley, the current head of H.P.'s PC business, tied with 
Steve Mills, the head of software at I.B.M., as the individuals best suited 
to follow Mr. Hurd.

In a confirmation that the C-Suite has a sense of humor, the respondents had 
Mr. Hurd tied with H.P.'s corporate technology chief, Ann Livermore, in the 
second spot. But, short of some shareholder revolt, it's hard to see Mr. 
Hurd coming back anytime soon.
