I do contract work for Diebold and NCR here in Australia working on EFTPOS machines but mostly ATMs.
Did you guys know that nearly all ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines btw) run on Windows XP? To actually do maintenance on these things, you have to log in via the xp log on screen and then there's a start menu and everything. The older ones still run on DOS and up until about 2004 all of them ran on Windows 2000 but have now been upgraded to XP:P
