#5I've always been curious about the type of embedded OS that ATMs and ticket kiosks use. Most of the time, it seems to be an unpatched version of Windows.
Does anyone know what the SFMTA runs on their kiosks?

Not sure about SFMTA but I know BART at Fremont is running Windows9x for its pay machines. Once I clicked the "add fare" button too fast and somehow dropped to desktop.
