Ha-ha. That ATM belongs to 2nd Russian hugest bank - VTB (Vneshtorgbank). Maybe you heard it had placed shares on LSE and RTS not long ago within the IPO. It’s interesting how investors and stock bosses would react on this.
why is it pirated? it just needs activation, it is a standard procedure
Normally this should be done inside ATM Technology Unit before placing to customer locations.
nevertheless it does not indicate the fact of piracy
Hello, boys! I’m newbie on this site! Come in!
Ага, под маской крокодила?
под маской Йусченка
да все гораздо проще - под маской дебила.
I would have expected they would just roll out a standard image of their software. I would be surprised if the software was not legit but if it is, expect much higher bank charges customers!
Were is Texas1 these days? It funny how I’m actually starting to miss him.
Come back Texas1, I love you really
Texas1, known mostly as George W. Bush, is at the G8 summit;
He blew a 50 amp fuse trying to keep all of his “stage personalities” straight.
Yes, how many aliases does he have now? I’ve lost count. There is AdolhPutin, Bullwinckle, redwhite@blue, finnish nazi online, moscowmadman etc, etc…
Texas1, why don’t you just use one screen name - Texas1? Anyway, your texas1 side is much nicer than your Bullwinckle, redwhite@blue and all other sides, which are offencive racist and provocative?
Hmm…well he is preferable to the College Republicans and Wiki-Weenies that somehow appear when a flame war against Russia errupts.
I guess he’s now at G8 summit drinking and fighting among those hippies
Lol! yes, he is on the rampage stabbing everyone with his American flag sining The Star-Spangled Banner.
Reminds me of home
Photoshopped.
What people have to understand is that in Russia, they have professionals. But professional means something different. It means you get the job done, and sometimes that means doing it wrong but getting it done anyways.
If it was pirated there won’t be any message like this
True.
Why someone would think that windows is pirate? It just needs activation :/
They should have used Linux or at least an activation crack for winXP.
Who would even think to install windows on a mission critical piece of hardware such as an ATM?
ugh… its a worldwide practice
They should have been using Linux.
Does ATM software for Linux even exist? I though most ATM were running OS/2. Maybe I’m out of date.
That used to be true.
Well, here in Switzerland, we have a lot of Linux based ATMs, so yes, I guess they do exist.
(You can see that when they reboot.)
I guess no… A Raiffeisenbank ATM was known to used NT4, Postfinance ATM (of Siemens Nixdorf) uses Windows 2000 and I myself saw at an Kantonalbank ATM booting into Windows 98…
I saw Linux only at the touch-sensitives ticket automats of the SBB (> kernel panic).
As I service many of atms in sydney australia, the o/s used are the following
Dos
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Linux
Made By Dieblod, NCR, Triton, Hyosung
Windows Vista in ATM ?? LOL
you probably forgot for OS/2
i also saw a commonwealth bank atm running nt4 once
few years ago but…
Some one must find some place else to use their stolen credit or debit cards.
Why is it in English? Um, shouldn’t they be using the Russian version?
I think this joke has nothing to do with Russia at all because windows was developed in US, so Americans, laugh at yourselves
I set up ATMs for a living. This happens often. It’s not piracy at all. The Windows is licensed to be used on the ATM but needs to be activated within 30 days. A simple phone call. It’s not piracy.
haha! awesome.
Now I know ATM’s use Windows, I think I may keep my cash under my mattress.
Yeah, I might do the same too.
nuke russia. worthless pigs anyway.
ahmed, you’re a fucking arab, shut up.
im still here
Looks very similar to the ATM I used a few times near the subway station I alight.
I am really scared now.
I hope they have good SSL and those security things.
ah that sort of ATM.
Cisco has my brain nowadays
