ATMs should use XP-embedded, which is supported until January 2016. But as long as banks do not ensure physical safety of their devices (machines and cards), the OS version is less relevant. Thieves do not trick the ATM to access a manipulated web page. They usually access data from magnetic stripes, recently they sometimes connect an USB device to the PC inside an ATM machine. In both cases the correct countermeasures do not require upgrading the OS.
