I've always thought it was rather silly (and extremely overkill) to use Windows as the operating system for an ATM. After all, an ATM has relatively simple requirements, which haven't really changed all that much in the last ten years. Of course, this is Diebold we're talking about.

Well, perhaps we made the wrong assumption about how secure their ATMs really were... :)
