Ballmer was giving a talk at the Hungarian University of Economy when a audience member stood up and yelled, "Give back the money of the taxpayers." The guy then proceeded to pummel Ballmer with eggs. Fortunately for Ballmer, his dance training came in handy and he was able to duck behind a table.
According to a Gizmodo tipster, "Microsoft has midterm contracts with the state in Hungary for 'way cheaper than from the store' Campus-licences. This costs billions (in HUF, 160HUF=1USD) for the state and makes students stuck in the Microsoft-world, not knowing Linux etc."
See what happens when you're stuck in the Microsoft world!

Seems like rather childish antics to me.

I am sure Ballmer wishes he was in the US. He would have retaliated by throwing chairs and causing that egg thrower's Windows PC to act strange and crash (hmmm....wait....they already do...without any help) well, then he will send the PC a self destruct message....

FUNNY ! : )
But, he should have thrown balloons full of red paint, that would have been more effective.
BTW : Did you see the back of his shirt ?

At least Gates got a pie. Ballmer got off too easy. Good on ya for trying anyway, mate.

Balmer had the WTF look wondering where the police were. In the US, that guy would have been tackled, maybe tasered ("don't taze me bro!") and hauled out in leg-irons if he did that to a muckety muck here!
