True, but only now the major OS vendors are switching from C to C++ as their main systems programming language.
Curious, which ones are you referring to?Windows uses C for the kernel, for many reasons, one of which is that C (unlike C++) discourages storing large objects on the stack.

Which vendors have switched to C++ for systems programming?
