Incidentally, Maybank ATMs use Windows XP. The Maybank ATM in Sunway actually has the Windows XP taskbar at the bottom of the ATM screen too... *gulp*

Heh...I took a Qantas flight some time back and their entertainment system is Windows-based. So it crashed

Fortunately the machine doesn't give wrong amounts of transaction ... I thought BSODs are only in home and business PC... but on ATM and kiosks??

I can't really see the error, it could be hardware problem u know.

They are all using Windows-NT or XP for all these?

And are crucial machines like the CAT scanner use WinXP as well? Very curious...

Maybank uses Windows XP for sure. I see it all the time - the WinXP taskbar when I withdraw money from Sunway Pyramid Shopping Center's Maybank ATMs. So I won't be surprised if Eon Bank's ATM is running Windows as well.

hmmm .. last time at the immigration area leaving johor to singapore, i remember seeing them using win2k for the machine. the officer rebooted it because it was slow or couldnt scan the passports

Haha!! I actually saw a working terminal with the XP taskbar at the bottom once. I guess they forgot to hide it.

Too bad I didn't bring my camera.
