1 day agoWill Berlin get rid of its public transport ticket machines?
Berlin's transport ticket machines have stopped accepting cash, prompting officials to consider abolishing them due to high operational costs.
Windows 2000 Professional seems to be a popular choice for ticket machine operators: a small footprint, bombproof reliability, and content to sit in the background while the customer's software takes center stage. Unfortunately, that reliability was not on display in this ticket machine, spotted in Bangkok by an eagle-eyed Register reader. A reboot has brought Windows 2000 Professional out of the shadows, and the loading screen is visible.
