Windows XP woe at the bowser


Got a $25 fuel card for renewing my NRMA membership earlier this year, tried to used it yesterday at the servo in Gungahlin. After joking with the boy at the counter by saying I fueled my car at pump zero (it was actually 10 with the "1" somehow hidden behind the pillar), the POS machine became frozen, all of a sudden.

Fortunately it didn't show any BSD, but it did show up the Windows version info at the bottom of the screen while rebooting. Quite interestingly, the screen on that swipe card thingy did show some more entertaining, like "Wow Initialising", and "Wow Logon" blah blah blah...

I wonder what's gonna happen when Micro$oft withdraws its support to Windows XP, completely.
