Windows Failure on ATM Machines

A few days ago, when I went to a petrol station, the scene below immediately attract my attention. For those outside Malaysia, Maybank is the second largest bank (previously 1st, but overtook by Public Bank) in Malaysia while Ambank is the 4th bank in Malaysia.



So I walked closer to the machine, and noticed this wonderful screen. If an executive from Microsoft see this, he/she will definitely be very proud as their Microsoft system finally kicked IBM OS out of the scene. But, hey, did you ever see an ATM with other OS ever crash?



And yesterday, when I go when Alliance Bank to repay my credit card, I again noticed this wonderful scene. Windows Professional 2000 indeed is very stable. Even when the system crash, the screen saver still working as usual.
