Incorrect analogy. You should not be comparing an individual's choice in selecting the bank. You should be comparing the banks choice in selecting the ATM vendor/technology. If the IT honchos at ICICI feel that end-to-end integration with their internal systems is best achieved if ATM services are outsourced to a vendor having ".Net technology" then they are free to choose any vendor. No one is forcing them to choose a vendor whose technology is based on Linux. OR they can use their clout and leverage their bargaining position to force a vendor to custom develop a technology for them in .Net, if one is not available already. If you *have* to compare in individuals choice in choosing a bank based on their IT infrastructure, then yes, I do select a bank whose net-banking works in Firefox -- because that matters to me. If tomorrow none of the banks' site works in Firefox then I don't have the negotiating power to force them to develop one. The same logic may apply if someone is so touchy about ATM software -- which IMHO is highly unlikely.
