Didn't PayPal use Windows NT for awhile?
Did they? They may have but I'm talking about BANKS.
They may have only used it for the web frontend, I don't remember.
True! No way in hell would a bank use windows. ;)

Most 21st century (even many 20th century) operating systems have
things called user permissions, file system permissions, ACLs and
much more, to just mention a few.
I won't even dignify this...especially to the kid who thinks Windows
machines process financial transactions. ;) I mean that doesn't make it /GOOD/ for
financial transactions...I'd
prefer DOS or VMS handle financial transactions. ;)
So, what DOS machine would handle processing, say, a few hundreds of
millions of transactions during a twenty-hour batch window? ;)
