"If we're not mistaken, the revocation error message has been rendered in the Windows Aero GUI introduced in Windows Vista two decades ago and continued through the era of Windows 7. It was ditched in Windows 8 in favor of something flatter and subsequently more "fluent." Years after Microsoft abandoned the design, Apple had a go with its "Liquid Glass" user interface."
"As it turned out, our reader reported that it took a mere 10 minutes to whizz through the border at Birmingham - very speedy when compared to certain other ports of entry. Assuming the time on the display is correct - just before 0730 on October 30 - that would have left plenty of time in which to enjoy a beverage or snack following passport inspection, and more than enough time to deal with whatever certificate problem has befallen the digital signage."
A UK border control wait-time display at Birmingham Airport showed a security certificate revocation error while running the Windows Aero GUI used by Windows Vista and Windows 7. The Aero design was replaced in Windows 8 and later abandoned by Microsoft; Apple later experimented with a similar 'Liquid Glass' style. Windows 7 reached end of life in 2020, with Extended Security Updates ending in 2023. Despite the certificate issue, passport processing took only about ten minutes. The display time suggested early-morning arrival on October 30. Faulty signage can leave passengers uncertain about actual wait times.
