Conoco Gas Stations Use Win XP!!????!

Oh my gosh !! ( not that cool I know)
No, but really. I thought it was pretty neat

 

WinXP embedded is used in a lot of kiosk applications. It's replaced OS/2 in many cases.

Ah yes good old hanging XP, it's quite common I have seen ATM's, trainstation and flight scheduals and much more crap hanging on XP bluescreens.

 

It's strange. I don't recall EVER having an XP bsod. Been using it for six years or so.

 

You've been lucky, then.

To be fair, though, BSOD's in XP are more often than not caused by hardware issues (in my experience, anyway).

 

Never had a BSOD in XP. Seen several in 7.

Seen a couple on someone else's XP machine that they had especially built, but its a hardware/driver prob really..

 

i had only a hand full or less since XP came out.
In my opinion XP was a great OS.

 

Never had a BSOD in XP either. Never bought crappy hardware or prebuilt PCs like HP, gateway and dell....

ATM and XP simply makes me feel scared though....

 

I got some Blue screens in XP boot up after a reload of the OS but never in other instances.

No BSODs in Win7 either

 

I ve had a fair share of BSOD on Win7. I think it has to do with the fact that my memories are unregistered at 4GB total, which is close to the statistical threshold for choosing registered memories.

 

First one to hack one of these for free gas gets 500,000 Shadowlayer Points, enough for a used N64 keychain or a free photo with me, beating you with a bat.

Win98= BSOD fest, it was actually extrange if it did work at all.

WinME= actually I had a good experience with it, must be the only case in the world.

WinXP= no probs, just that it got really slow with time, even with the right maintenance.

Vista= what do you think? it crashes any app that uses too much resources ¬_¬

Win7= still testing it...
