Windows XPe cocktail fountain

Digital Beverage has created a product called MyFountain. Running Windows XP Embedded this “digital bartender” is a fully automated drink fountain that mixes drinks, pours them and cleans the nozzle afterwards with hot water—no bartender required. MyFountain also comes with a mini-computer and touchscreen so you can create your own drinks with the online recipe generator. Digital Beverage also has created a higher end model run on Windows XP Embedded called the Virtual Bartender. Isn't that cool?
