Profile - re: "All the big roles at Compaq are taken."

Unless I missed something, Capellas outlined the three biggest roles - CTO, Strategy and Marketing - which are still unfilled. Lane would hardly be likely to be CTO but could fill either of the other roles, both of which are potential stepping stones to the CEO slot.

Lane was always #2 at Oracle, and with Ellison unlikely to give up the top job any time soon, Lane may have just gotten tired of waiting. CPQ would benefit by having a CEO-caliber guy in a senior role, if only for reasonable succession planning. CPQ is at least as big a player as Oracle, and a bigger coup for a top guy who makes a difference. I would not rule it out.
