BeOS kernel was written in C, "It may come as a surprise to some BeOS developers that in our wonderful, buzzword-enabled, OO-powered OS, there is not a single line of C++ code in the kernel."

Windows NT kernel was all C apart from bits of the graphics layer - friction from that team's use of C++ is a theme in /Showstopper/.
