When Suntrust Bank got new type ATMs, I accidentally hit two buttons on the
keypad at the same time and the ATM crashed and went blank. In a minute it
booted up very slowly with the Windows logo just like a computer. Not a
very reassuring thought that your money is being dispensed by a crash prone
Windows program.

PS: You had me thinking that you were a CE; probably out setting stakes
every day. There seems to be a lot of DIY Prius info on the net.

I guess I didn't provide enough evidence of the sarcasm and funniness that
I was trying to convey, haha. :) :D :p
I'm an EE with ME background and embedded systems experience, so at least
on paper I could do some of the work.
I'd likely devise my own control circuitry or hijack the existing to do my
will... It has been shown that a Prius without the nany-limits on starting
torque can do an impressive 0-60 time.
And I HATE the BofA ATM machines... The one closest to my house has never
had a touch screen calibration or even the dignity of the windows sounds
being changed...

By your reasoning, you and the other computer engineers shouldn't be able
to diagnose and fix mechanical problems on cars, yet you usually can. If
you bought a used hybrid, I don't think it
would be long before you were fixing it. Several banks are using Windows
to run their ATMs.
Probably won't be long before Windows will be running hybrids. (g)

Ask a civil engineer to design a rocket engine.
He's an engineer after all! :P
