Steve Ballmer egged at Hungarian University
Wow. It's tough to be CEO of a multi-billion dollar software company these days, what with it being so difficult to extend desktop monopoly to the web and getting egged during speeches....
Yes, egged.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was egged by a protester during a speech he gave at a Hungarian University. As this video shows, the protester rose to his feet to challenge Microsoft for stealing billions in Hungarian taxpayer money, then started hurling eggs at Ballmer, who was forced to take cover behind a desk.
Who said it was easy to make billions?

Linux User? I doubt it!
He's probably a Vista user! There's a damn good reason for egging Ballmer!
I do have to agree, Ballmer certainly does have grace under fire.
