Egg pelted on Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer had to dive for cover behind a lectern during a visit to a Budapest University after a student decided to throw eggs at him.
Well, will you take cover or not?
The student managed to miss all the three and was heard shouting "...to the Hungarian people, give that money back, right now" and was wearing a shirt that said "Microsoft = Corruption" on the back. Ballmer laughed off the incident and kudos must be given for his to cat like reactions.
A video of the incident circulating on the Internet shows that Ballmer was initially stunned, but quickly laughed off the attempted egging. "That broke my train of thought," he joked.
Ballmer's address at the university on Monday began routinely enough. "I have to ask one key question before we start," he said to the students. "How many of you still have examinations?"
HEre is the Video!
The reason behind this cowardly act was that man was upset with the Hungarian government's decision to sign a software and training deal with Microsoft tried to pelt the company's chief executive with eggs during a presentation Monday at a Budapest university.
