Andrew Herbert, managing director of Microsoft Research in Cambridge, meets the chairman from Redmond several times a year to discuss his team's contribution to the software giant's development and innovation strategy.
'We show Bill our research work quite regularly. We have frequent reviews where he comes and spends an afternoon with us and we show him what's hot,' says Herbert.
