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

Here's a mirror in case the original website goes down: https://geoffchappellmirror.github.io/
The ArchiveTeam folks are saving it to archive.org too.
+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.
