Many ATMs are just running a web browser with appropriate plug-ins for 
running the hardware. It's much easier to add new features to 100,000 
machines that way than it is to go around with secure storage operated by a 
trained technician updating the machines.  I.e., for all the reasons any 
other business creates an intranet instead of a desktop app.
