Interesting article in FT about the problems for enterprise applications written for Windows XP now that Microsoft is dropping support for it, particularly in relation to security.

End of Windows XP support puts ATMs at risk

(nb. You need to be a subscriber to view the article)

The gist of the story is that 40% of all PCs still use Windows XP and that 95% of applications for ATMs are written for XP, and the challenge is that many companies have built their own software that is only compatible with XP so rebuilding will be expensive and ironing bugs out of the new version would take time.

Glassware to the rescue ???
