My city's subway has one of these;
I wonder why the tickets gate need Windows XP to work :|

System was booting and it take 6 minutes until I get in....

Problem is, that the RFPs for such systems usually ask for "standard operating systems" or even directly demand windows.
Although this is really pointless, because no user ever directly encounters the OS of such embedded boxes. But sadly this is the world we're living in.

is this Windows CE?

I saw error message popping up on airport screens, That time checked what they use as their primary os is xp

Wooooo player.exe....

Who need cortana anyway
