    take it for what it's worth, but I'm a manager at Walmart and all of our registers are windows xp and or work stations are win server 2000 :P I'm not saying that's good but that you shouldn't assume no one uses old os,s. It's also kinda funny in a sad way cuz it registers are always crashing lol

    Are the registers actual PCs or is it likely that they use Windows XP embedded? That's the one reason we still have it on the HMI screens for some of our equipment. Can't upgrade the OS on a unit that has the OS hardcoded into it lol The workstations should be upgraded for the sole reason of up to date security features

    I am a co. Mgr at Wal-mart and the company paid a lot of money a year or so ago to upgrade all their systems to windows 7 and where I live I have yet to go into a store that does not have windows 7 computers.

    One of the main reasons is that Windows XP on a register or a machine that processes credit cards is not PCI compliant.
