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 :

is there a way to gain access into the sql server database for the bank? how do i do it?
Seems that Bank Rakyat did not bother to correct the VC++ error, lol
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
Another sighting.. A cash deposit machine this time.
microsoft should customize the windows smally. too stupid if huge windows embedded in ATM.
use windows ce if better, but don’t show start menu. the windows must seen like windows xp media center or xbox 360…
everything we can do with windows… but Bank must give me permission to use the ATM for another ‘transaction’…
Yup seen that before :)
Crashed ATM Machines that can run Windows Media Player
I assumed the ATM use touchscreen.

can we use the ATM for checking e-mail? :-)
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
lol.. interesting discovery :D
I’ve seen those before – Maybank ATMs in Snuway Pyramid running atop Windows XP. Blue taskbars and all.
Hmm…embedded windows.. i thought most of the bank in msia using ibm os/2
windows embedded… microsoft customized windows xp and windows ce for other device like ATM, phone, medical device etc

– a dumbed down version of windows (XP i think)
This is normal. In the UK almost all cash machine outlets runs on proprietary software above a Windows OS. Same goes with public phones:
