As a former and current Wal-Mart "Associate" I can say that they use HP-Unix to run the system that keeps track of all of the sales figures and inventory (read most important stuff). They also use Windows Server 2003 for Intranet based things and to connect thin clients to terminal servers as well as Web Outlook for email (read stuff that could go down for a couple hours and not be missed). They are slowly moving more and more data entry to web interfaces as it can be easier for home office to obtain and update that data. I wouldn't be surprised if they have moved everything to web stuff in the next ten years.
