Please insert disk #2 into the cash slot...

Was just about to draw out some money when I was confronted by this...

Windows FTL?

 

[BloomerzUK]

Atleast it didn't have BSoD.

 

[Rastalovich]

That`s not even nearly safe. Siemens use images to build stuff, not windows install disks.

 

[llwyd]

........You mean windows is in charge of our cash? oh dear

 

[JN]

Wish I'd hung around now to see it boot into the windows desktop, and some dude back at Siemens HQ running all the critical windows updates

Why do they bother leaving it switched on. Its so embarrassing and funny. Bill Gates would sure kill himself if he had saw this.

 

[ionicle]

hahahaha

but sigh

"we are microsoft, all your money is belong to us"

 

[PP Mguire]

Are you kidding? This wasnt a prank??

 

[JN]

Are you kidding? This wasnt a prank??

Nope. "Out of Order" sign slapped on it and the windows installer screen

I have to say that the cash machine must have been pretty beefy, coz when I went to take some cash out of the machine next to it, it was at about 30%, then 2-3 minutes later it had almost finished the install.

Haha I've never seen that before on an ATM. Nice catch mate

 

[PP Mguire]

Wow thats pretty crazy. Makes me wonder if Chase uses Windows on their ATMs

 

[ionicle]

what bank was that with?

 

[nepas]

what bank was that with?

judging by the logo at the top of the machine i would say barclays

 

[ionicle]

I saw nearly the same thing at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth last weekend. One of the ATM's crapped out next to me and it had a desktop on the screen with a cursor being remotely directed and opening log files and showing everyone. Then it rebooted. That was a RBOS cashpoint.

Scary times we live in people.
