Microsoft Boss Egged in Budapest for "Stealing from Hungary"; Entire Nation Watches Video on Stolen Copies of Windows
Our business-minded sister site has the net-net about how Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer got "egged" yesterday while giving a talk at Corvinus University by a demonstrator upset that the company is "stealing from Hungary" by inking big deals for software with the Hungarian state. Needless to say, the attack made a big splash in the local (and global) media, even though the protester's eggs missed their mark, and everyone else seemed to miss the irony of accusing Microsoft of stealing from Hungary, when the entire country is currently run on pirated copies of Windows XP.
UPDATE: And here it is in slow motion! We're loving that "blue screen" face, the girly throw not so much...

COMMENT!Right, Microsoft is making zillions by being ripped off everywhere…
"the entire country is currently run on pirated Windows" A bit of exaggeration, maybe? After all, there's at least 4 of us in the country who use Apple.
"when the entire country is currently run on pirated copies of Windows XP"
That's a lie!
I would say every journalist a liar instead (and use pirated copies of softwares).
I would agree with the pirate shit (maybe not the entire country, but most)as the laptop I purchased here keeps getting flagged by that f'in Microsoft warning that I am using pirated software...it's bloody annoying!!!
The whole gig was probably staged and paid for by Microshit. Observe how relaxed Ballmer's security people are who would have wrestled a real protester to the ground before he could have stood up. Ballmer too knew what was coming. As for the Microshit tax, most of us pay it because we 'can't refuse' like we pay our other taxes. There is no reason though to be cheerful about it or to not notice what scum we are paying to or what our money is used for.
Few people even knew Ballmer will talk at Corvinus (FKA Foxi Maxi) and we should believe this guy got by MS security +local security in his Microsoft=Corruption T shirt with a dozen eggs in his hand and slipped into the hand picked audience... Weird! Corvinus university by the way is none other than the infamous Karl Marx University oh so patriotically renamed where the Soviets' apparatchiki received their "red diplomas" and extra special brainwash. But, alas, times change, the apparatchiks are called compradors now and they are trained at "Corvinus." Which reminds me what Peres said http://tinyurl.com/3f5wnq about Bill Gates & Microsoft.
