Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was pelted with eggs in Hungary.

The unhappy chappy with the projectile dairy product was protesting the license agreement Microsoft has with the Hungarian government.

A couple of things strike me.

1) Does Ballmer not have security? He is one of the richest men in America ($15.2b).

2) The chap with the eggs was wearing a shirt that said in large letters “Microsoft = Corruption”.

Bad day the office…
