Just an amusing link about Windows in the Banking world... runnings ATMS
- not quite the Blue Screen of Death but perhaps more effective

"ONE OF THE BIG five banks in the UK could not let customers withdraw
money today because a Microsoft Windows problem crashed the automatic
tilling system (ATM).

...

The branch of the bank, in the very famous Baker Street, W1 - home of
Abbey National and Sherlock Holmes -- was inaccessible because ATMs
don't have pointing devices to OK the error. That's probably all it
would have taken...

But just down the road, Barclays seemed to run fine on a non-Windows
based system."
