Very sad news today in the Seattle PI -- Jeff Harbers died when his single-engine plane crashed on takeoff in Big Timber, Montana this weekend. Jeff was an incredibly bright, humorous, and effective manager of the Office group at Microsoft in the 1980's. I worked under Jeff when I was on the Excel for Windows team in the mid 80's. Though it's nearly twenty years since I've been in touch with Jeff, I remember him well, and I know he will be missed.
