Windows error screen disrupts self-service kiosk at Portuguese restaurant chain
A Register reader spotted a Windows error screen on a self-service kiosk in a Portuguese restaurant chain, where Windows 10 (or possibly 8.x) rejected the kiosk application. The humorous incident highlights the ongoing friction between Windows-based systems and dedicated kiosk software in public-facing terminals.
Key quotes
Spotted in a Portuguese restaurant chain by eagle-eyed Register reader Mário, the screen shows Windows 10 - though it could possibly be Windows 8.x - turning its nose up at a kiosk application.
Restaurant kiosks are hazardous places, and not only on the side of the screen where patrons jab greasy fingers.
Either way, the sight of it would be enough to put even the most cast-iron sysadmin off their lunch.
