When April 8 comes around, it seems that many ATM machines around the world would run into a particular problem, so much so that it might be a whole lot more difficult to handle compared to the relatively peaceful Y2K experience that we had 14 years ago. After all, most of the ATM machines worldwide still run on Windows XP, the operating system from Microsoft that will no longer be supported by Microsoft themselves from that date onward. BusinessWeek claims that 95% of active ATMs in the world will be powered by Windows XP, and when there is no more support from Microsoft, it would most probably mean that your ATM machine is going to be vulnerable to external hacks and the like.
