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?

Apparently, the student that egged Ballmer was angry about M$ stealing Hungarian tax money. Surprised Ballmer didn't throw a chair in retaliation, given his well-known temper.

Nope, you're probably thinking of Peter Moore, who was the former VP of Microsoft Games' division. That guy apparently got tattoos of Halo 2 and GTA IV on his arms when Microsoft was promoting the two games.
