Hey, at least it is IE 6 and not IE 5.5 that "is entrenched at our enormous enterprise and required by horribly brittle legacy applications" like gwangi's company.
If it makes you feel any better, up until 8-10 months ago, we still had ATMs running Windows NT. Very locked down and stripped, but it still ended up with customers (and premise owners) complaining of BSODs at the local 7-11, which was hysterically funny only because I didn't have to deal with them.
NT was one of the more stable things Microsoft released, but still... It's a little surprising that those ATMS don't just spontaneously start shooting out cash every time they get the least bit confused.
