It is always interesting to see how companies use pirated softwares so obviously in public. This time it just happens to be a Russian bank on their ATM machine… come on, how much more money does it take to buy a fully cracked Windows? Fine, we give them a benefit of doubt, they are only a bunch of honest people like all of us, forgetting to activate our own Microsoft softwares. –Sam Chan

What probably happened here is the bank purchased their ATM software solution for the absolute lowest price. The hack software company that ‘hooked them up’ took the money and ran leaving their unknowing client with an unlicensed operating system on the machine. Kinda funny really. You get what you pay for.

@SeDuctEx Goes to show, you shouldn’t skimp out on your software, especially if you’re a bank!
