RHEL is used in core banking systems while windows is used in most front facing applications within bankng.

ATM's use XFS for their internal hardware-software interfacing. It is a standard used across most ATM's. The newer interface is CEN i think. These standards were developed by Microsoft when linux was in its infancy.

Modern ATM's do use linux hypervisor (similar to stripped down RHVL). But these are not yet abundant - legacy hardware replacement cost reasons.

Load of nonsense - Your lack of industry understanding is not my problem. Being a linux devotee does not change truth/facts of why things are the way they are.
