Windows Fails with ATM Machine

As usual, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and robustness of Windows, can not help in ATM Machine. I have captured few Screenshots of Windows throughing error messages and Malware warning message.

Can you imagine , an Malware warning message on an ATM machine that is exposed to public, and how a Virus can mess up things.
from my humble point of view, MS-Windows can not deliver the level of security or robustness that an ATM machine and banking in general may need
Screenshots say it all!!!!

I recommend Using Linux on ATM machines, if you are in banking and want to see demo or discuss Linux on ATM machine with me, please feel free to drop me a line.

~ GO Placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they, too, have their story.
~ Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter;for there will always better as well as worse than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
~ Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.But do not let this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideas; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of aridity and disenchantment it perennial as the grass.
~ Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But go not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
~ You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
~ With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
