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 :

I don’t know if any of you guys ever heard of blastwave.org, but it has the reputation of being the largest software repository for Solaris/Opensolaris operating system. Born out of a grassroots movement, blastwave repository started with an initial set about 50-100 packages. It is now has grown in popularity, complexity, offerings and expectation since its formation.
Sponsored by Sun Microsystem, Genesi and DTU, blastwave software repository now covers hundres of software packages for the Solaris and OpenSolaris operating system, making it the largest Free and Open Source software repository for Solaris.
So Solaris user, what are you waiting for? browse for http://blastwave.org
p/s: Blastwave software distribution is also available on dvd along with OpenSolaris code-base. You can order Blastwave DVD here if you are a Solaris fan.
I spend the rest of my online time today to download BeleniX, an Opensolaris based LiveCD. I’ve never tried any of the opensolaris distribution before, though i heard about the initial work done for Debian/Solaris and SchiliX. But I’m so damn bored today, and I guess LiveCD would be suffice for me to try opensolaris.
According to BelleniX website,
BeleniX is a *NIX distribution that is built using the OpenSolaris source base. It is currently a LiveCD distribution but is intended to grow into a complete distro that can be installed to hard disk.
I also found a nice review about BelleniX here : http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roumen?entry=tux_on_a_trip_to
Here’s some BelleniX screenshots I got from osdir.com
