A reader informed me that legendary Windows guru Woody Leonhard has passed away.
His contributions to the Windows community are too numerous to count.
You can see his obituary at the site he founded, AskWoody.com.
Years ago had some kind words for my site and I was humbled and grateful.
Godspeed sir.
