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??
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.
Well, it was taken with a phone's camera. It was a Windows STOP message at the top, and a hex dump making up the rest of the screen.
Yeah, the problem could be anything. And well, to give some credit, think about how many transactions the ATM runs per day per terminal... and I've can only remember seeing 1 ATM crashed all my life...
Well, firstly, not all ATMs run Windows. Secondly, while this is the first ATM BSOD I've seen, this is not the first crashed ATM I've seen. I've encountered tons, from a nonresponsive (hung) ATM, an ATM with the screens mixed up..
And you are blaming everything on OS? If could have been due to poor programming on the ATM software, not the OS itself. Although MS doesn't make the most stable OS, but I wouldn't quickly blame on the OS straight away.
Eh, I didn't blame the OS, I merely clarified that not all ATM OS-es run Windows, and I didn't say that all the ATM crashes are due to OS's fault. For one, I do not think that the ATM machine that had it's screen mixed up was an OS fault, it was more likely bugged software. It could be anything. I just said "crashes" and crashes encompasses all sorts of factors that cause it - OS, software, hardware. Your bank account balance is probably more than mine any time! Now gimme some money. Mwahaha!
