Steve Ballmer dodges eggs at Hungarian University
Posted by XanTium | May 20 00:04 EST | News Category: Xbox_Xbox360
 
From engadget.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was recently forced to duck for cover under a barrage of (three) eggs during a speech he was giving at a Hungarian University. Apparently, the disgruntled egg-tosser was angry with Ballmer for "stealing billions in Hungarian taxpayer money," which he demanded that Ballmer give back "right now."

it's believed M$ paid off the hungarian government to go with M$ products over free linux products for government machines. So the guy thinks any money M$ is making off of their government is stolen from the citizens.

when i first saw the headline i was hoping some college students (at least 5) where pissed that vista wasn't working and decided to show there appreciation, i would have loved to see ballmer get hit smack dab in the middle of his forehead but him cowering behind the podium was just as funny biggrin.gif

just in case you missed it the guy 2 seats to the right (red shirt) was listening to music on his macbook...lol

I love Vista. There seems to be a really 50/50 divide between lovers and haters of it.... By that I mean 1/99 divide between lovers and haters (respectively)

But aaaaaaaaaaaannyway. I was going to have a go at the kid, but this is the 5th website i've seen this on today, so hes done a good job of shedding light to the subject, rock on!

I guess no one else in the audience cared about the money? I think he should have brought more eggs though.
