Eggs thrown on Steve Ballmer , Pie thrown on Bill Gates!

by Ujwal Tickoo on May 21st, 2008

Jarring video that show Eggs being thrown at Steve Ballmer at Corvinus University in Budapest. For all thats worth a voice (of disagreement) – blogs and protest marches are fine. Physical attacks - nah they are weird. Bill Gates also got some pie thrown at him — again jarring sight.

YouTube Videos of these incidents are below.

Even though the incidents themselves are not the right forms of disagreement the signal these incidents hopefully could give Microsoft leaders is that there is pent up frustration and unpopularity that needs to be understood and fixed by corrective steps.

Here is the pie attack on Bill Gates

Microsoft has been very often referred to as a cut-throat unfair competitor even by Business leaders of other organizations such as Adobe, Sun…

"we’re concerned about is that they’re going to compete unfairly, meaning that they’re going to tie their file formats to their monopoly products, Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office" Bruce Chizen, ex-CEO Adobe

Seems public sentiment hasn't changed much about Microsoft.
