Sorry to alienate the viewers from across the pond, but I do believe there is a Tesco or two available in California now.. Anyway, I was queueing up at the self-service section of Tesco - you know the sort with the weigh stations, and manual bar-code scanning? Well one of the machines went down, had to be rebooted by accessing the machine in the bottom of the blue box, and guess what? A copy of Windows XP fired up - complete with the windows login tune.
So next time you’re getting your shopping the “quick” way and wonder why the machine is complaining that there are “unexpected items in the bagging area” or shouts “please wait for assistance” just remember that it’s Windows under the hood!
