ComputerWorld has an interesting piece on this subject. Aside from the cost
of the software (there are 400K ATMs in the US alone), there is the fact
that the institutions are at the mercy of Microsoft's obsolescence
deadline, currently April 8. It is estimated that 95% of the ATMs in the
world run XP currently.
