Does anybody know if this includes ATM machines? I read that they still run largely on XP. But that’s not an issue since they’re connected only on the banks’ internal networks. I wouldn’t be surprised if this high XP count is due to many other internally networked PC’s in businesses.
It does include a lot of ATM’s.
I work in an industry that uses a lot of computerized equipment that is too expensive to change out just because there is a new OS.
Most of this equipment uses proprietary software created by/for the equipment’s manufacturer and are incapable of receiving just as OS update. The whole machine must be replaced. Depending on the machine that’s anywhere from $50,000 - $1,000,000 +.
We still have some machines that use Win95. XP is on the majority of the systems.
It also includes manufacturing with robotic assembly lines, and machining/ welding equipment.
