I don't have a link but, I read recently that bank ATM's use XP. The banks are going to pay Microsoft a special fee until they are able transition to a new platform. I'm surprised the Fed govt hasn't negotiated a similar agreement.

This abandonment issue still pisses me off.

Here is a link with a similar article regarding the bank ATM's. It's not the same one since it's dated yesterday and the one I previously read was last week.

Still PO'ed.
