Diebold Launches Industry's First Software Update Notification System
http://finanzen.net/news/news_detail.asp?NewsNr=412026

It has a little quote from Sandra Jones, card services director for MAX 
Federal Credit Union (MAX FCU) that says.

"When MAX moved from the OS/2 operating system to the advanced technology 
of Windows, we quickly realized that the system required closer management 
than our previous systems," Jones said.

Here goes my personal opinion:

First the obvious, Windows requires a lot more work than OS/2. It requires 
"closer management", which means spend more money in resources fixing ATMs. 
And that's said from someone that works in a bank.

The second thing is a contradiction. "The advanced technology of Windows", 
which kind of advance technology make you spend more money in management?

So in conclusion, ATMs should stay with OS/2 or migrate to eComStation to 
have support, but never switch to Windows.
