We do ATM's - it runs on Windows IOT - before that it was OS/2.

Fortunately for us not at all although we use it on our desktops - my work laptop had a BSOD on Friday morning, but it recovered.

According to reports the ATMs of some banks also showed the BSOD which surprised me; i wouldn't have thought such "embedded" devices needed any type of "third-party online updates".
