Current Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer got an egg thrown at him from a strange Hungarian IT student. The Hungarian student was also wearing a shirt with Microsoft = Corruption written on it. The reason why he threw the egg at Steve Ballmer is speculated to revolve around a Hungarian Government deals and tenders agreement that favors Microsoft and locks out competition. The Hungarian student yelled out “Give back the money of the taxpayers!” before throwing 3 eggs. All of the eggs missed.
