I've always been curious about the type of embedded OS that ATMs and ticket kiosks use. Most of the time, it seems to be an unpatched version of Windows. Does anyone know what the SFMTA runs on their kiosks?

It looked to me like the kiosks themselves are OK but the PCs they communicate with got hacked. Making life worse through technology, welcome to the future!

Not sure about SFMTA but I know BART at Fremont is running Windows9x for its pay machines. Once I clicked the "add fare" button too fast and somehow dropped to desktop.

I made software for a few museum exhibitions with multiple interactive terminals (sometimes up to 30). At first we used WinXP/Flash, and later moved to Linux/Opera (to cut licensing fees and shorten development time). That was 6 years ago.
