Yes, I recall from the article the ATM's run XP Embedded, a version of the OS that is still supported by Microsoft. Guess they like to be able to get cash once in a while and it's never wise to piss off a bank that has all your money.
As far as comfort v.s. concern, when was the last time an ATM gave you the wrong amount? I've been waiting for the decimal point to slip to the left a few positions for a while, but so far no joy.
I did see a couple of crazies bash one over at a Kangaroo store with a beat up truck and take off with it, but I guess that would have happened regardless of the OS.
