Overblown Problem
This is a typical Windows chauvinist response. If I were a
CEO and my CIO tried to tell me to use Windows for this
application, I'd fire him on the spot for reckless stupdity.

Windows security vulnerabilities are too well know to use
for any application like ATMS. In fact, I recommend to
companies to not use Windows servers and to adopt a
technology diversity on the desktop to avoid these kinds of
security issues.
