Just a Quick Reminder About Kiosks, Pay Phones, and ATMs.

I didn't do it. 
There I go, hanging out in the real world, again.

For those of you who may not be aware, most computer kiosks, pay phones (no one uses them), and even ATMs (no one uses them either, right?) run Windows. Some run a version called Windows Embedded. There are a LOT of devices out there that use WindowsXP Embedded. These are basically just stripped down versions of the original operating systems. Because who needs Windows Media Player on an ATM anyway? (Or in general?)
