RBS ATM's Use Windows

A while back I learned that Microsoft had won a lot of contracts in various countries to supply their banks ATM machines. This sent a shiver down my back that so many people whose primary responsibility is to think about customer security would be stupid enough to sign a contract with Microsoft to have Windows as the underlying OS on their ATM kiosk software. I had hoped (rather naively as it turned out) that these contracts wouldn't be in the UK.
