I saw this post when i was surfing kamal’s (k4ml) blog. He wrote that he saw a Public Bank ATM running Windows OS, probably with Microsoft Windows NT/9x.
In his words
I walked passing an ATM machine when I noticed something so familiar. I step back to the Public Bank?s ATM and to my suprise .. it was a Windows desktop. The typical win 9x desktop. I?m not sure but it might be Windows NT.
He also has a prove. Lets see :

This is normal. In the UK almost all cash machine outlets runs on proprietary software above a Windows OS. Same goes with public phones:

it’s normal that they develop ATM on top of Windows/ IBM OS/2, but never heard that ATM build on top of Linux yet :D hehe

To be honest, I saw twice in a week that Bank Rakyat ATM machine running Windows!
and to top it all, it had errors of MS Visual C++. The error dialog box had been appeared almost for a week according to Mat Lepak near the machine. lol

Seems that Bank Rakyat did not bother to correct the VC++ error, lol
