I was in Turkey 25 years ago. Their tram system used the Windows warning "BLING" before calling out the station.

I was there last year, and when you go to charge your tram card in the machine, everyone of them has a "This version of Windows is unathorized. Click here to buy a license" message in the bottom left of the screen.

Gotta love the Turks.
