Reader Report from OSCON: The Tenth Annual Open Source Conference
,----[ Quote ]
| Benjamin Mako Hill from the MIT Center for Future Civic Media presented on
| the ways that errors in everyday technology can present opportunities for
| encouraging the right kind of thinking. He used ATM crashes as an example of
| how typically invisible thinking becomes visible to users, stimulating
| immediate public discussion. Open Source Software can be used to further
| decentralize control over the technology that has such a powerful role in our
| lives.

Why not Embedded? ATM's Running XP Professional...
,----[ Quote ]
| This time, I happened to be there when it suddenly BSOD'd and began a
| reboot cycle. Obviously, to BSOD it needs to run Windows, and moments
| later, that was confirmed. But that's not the story here -- believe it or
| not, most ATMs run Windows nowadays, and there's absoloutely nothing
| wrong with that.

| There's a million reasons why an ATM should must be RTOS, be it Linux or
| VxWorks or Windows CE, but even if you don't go with RTOS, Windows XP
| Professional most certainly isn't the answer. Especially if it's not even
| SP2.
