Given how many bank's electronic systems are old and insecure, why not have Windows on their ATMs?

jonmi587y@stop I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I'm pretty sure that I am able to infect a normal Windows 7/8/10 in the same way with Wannacry as I can do it with Windows XP.
As I mentioned before, when it is not possible to transfer data to an atm, then the OS behind it doesn't matter. But when there is a USB port you can infect every OS, Mac and Linux are maybe a little harder but not impossible. So I don't understand your problem with atms running XP today...
