If you're using Windows-based ATMs _at all_ you're _already_ "not
really doing everything you can to make them as secure as they can be".

There's just no excuse - IMO - for using the most insecure (in
practice) operating system on the planet for an ATM...especially in the
presence of all the alternatives.  (Not all the alternatives are really
_good_, but practically anything else is better than Windows.)
