Microsoft Exec Pelted With Eggs

The Guardian has an article about Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer's eventful lecture in Budapest yesterday. Upset that Microsoft had received a government contract, a student stood up, yelled, "Hey you!" and demanded that Ballmer return the contract money. Then he threw eggs at him (they missed) and proceeded to politely file out of the room in his "Microsoft = Corruption" T-shirt. It was a very brief, oddly mild (if messy) attack. And - like all that criticism of Windows Live - it didn't seem to phase Ballmer at all.
