You say that as if MS-DOS wasn't able to output graphics at all. It's not like ATMs need complex GUI widgets, they only show text. All graphics could be stored bitmaps, the same way some games work and the result could be better than regular OS widgets too.
You could run an ATM with a freakin' Raspberry Pi, it would cost less than the license for Windows alone. Once you account for the hardware needed for Windows, it's just insane to go with Microsoft.
But I suppose banks don't care about losing money, the government will always back them up. Even if it's the banks who are screwing everybody including the government.
Adobe CS2 had ImageReady, a proper tool designed for Web optimization. Adobe CS3 tried to add the ImageReady tools to Photoshop in a half-assed way where you can only do actual work once you're already in the "export" mode where you lose 95% of the Photoshop power and need to go back-and-forth between regular mode and export mode.
You know you read too much crypto-currencies news when you read the title as "Apple Will Refund $32.5M To Settle In-App Purchase Complaints With FeatherCoin".
To put things in perspective for the new-ish Slashdot readers who aren't nerds at all, this means 1200 bit per second, 150 bytes per second or 0.146484375 KiB per second or roughly 870 times smaller than a typical 128kbps MP3/AAC file.
Most people use Windows for one of those two things: gaming or business.
Make the following: - Windows 2015: Gaming Edition, optimized for games, no useless services running in the background, only the bare utilities to help setup/add hardware easily. - Windows 2015: Business Edition, optimized for business applications with strong support for emails, calendars, networking, etc.

If that were the case, the winner would be the clock on microcontrollers. There's a shitload more of those than any x86 processors.
Thank you Ted, that was the joke.
I almost read that as Harry Yu and Pother Yu.
What you should do is shift everything in your basement, two inches to the left. I know a guy for that.

If that's your line of thinking then all ATMs should be running MS-DOS 3.22
I'll just continue using my regular infrared remote which works 100% of the time.
With a name like that, it had to happen.
Or they are able to filter out useless chatter from teenagers who account for 98% of the SMS traffic.
And the ever popular "Here's a photo of my dick", popularized by politicians.
I won't be happy until Photoshop enables me to do rocket surgery.
So I guess you're not a big fan of World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV then.

They screwed up bad.
This is Adobe we're talking about here. The Kings of bloatware. Even Microsoft seems to be making race cars by comparison.
Thank you Ted, that was the joke.
So I'll just leave this link here in case someone wants to read about it.

I.E. that means 1 hour and 56 minutes of audio in a 1 MiB file.
Or maybe I messed up somewhere and 128kbps divided by 1.2kbps is 106 times smaller, not 870.
Still very impressive, unlike my math.

I just completed the closing of my tinfoil helmet as you suggested, what is the next st. ^IR54d (9=NO CARRIER
How about the Intel Pentium G3220? It's Haswell, socket 1150, low power and nearly half the price of the i3.

Look at what he puts out about himself on social media. Here he is with a spork.
I'm all for building my own gaming box, especially if it removes Microsoft from the picture.
