How much do you guys want to bet he's a Mac user.

The egg-monger was wearing a jacket with a legend depicting Microsoft as a corruptor and his local government as one willing to accept bribes, what does that has to do with Apple or the Macintosh OS? More likely a disgruntle Linux User.; Like this

A Mac user? I don't think so. Look at him, look at his shirt, look at the country he's in... He's definitely a Linux user.

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.; Like this Reply to this comment
