Hugh Steers is working in some company in Soho.  I didn't get the
details, we just happened to bump into each other on Oxford Street a
while ago.

Doug Rabson left MS some time before it folded (I think it still
exists, in theory, but it doesn't do much anymore).  I strongly
suspect he's the same Doug Rabson that was involved in this 3d
graphics type company that was bought up by Microsoft recently, so I
suspect he's doing OK!  I didn't know anybody else at MS, though I
think there were one or two other Bristol Uni people there at one
point or another.

I don't know anything about Level 9; I seem to remember some story
about them folding, but I may be wrong.
