Which one? All the self-checkout lines I have seen are running
Windows :-(.. I could tell by the Windows lock screen on the
out-of-order systems. Why oh why couldn't an OS be used that is
actually real-time and more responsive?!

OS/2 was FAR from stillborn...it was in
use in damn near every bank office in the country for a very long
time, with probably half of those installations likely still in
place...I know the two banks I go to regularly still run it on at
least one desktop.
One of the eastern supermarket chains runs OS/2, running the checkout
lines. You would not know unless you see the machine boot.
