I didn't know Geoff, but I have used his website a lot in the past. It is a fountain of knowledge around everything about Windows. I hope that the Internet preserves this knowledge and with it his memory.

RIP Geoff

+1, his website on Windows internals is incredible. A great legacy to leave to the world: something that has helped and will continue to help thousands of people

Was just about to say the same thing, and wondering if that site was the same guy. Thanks and RIP to Geoff.
