Yeah, Herb Sutter can GFHS. We use C for good reasons. C++ is not an upgrade, it is a completely different language.

I just remembered Microsoft wrote this scathing document: C++ for Kernel Mode Drivers: Pros and Cons http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg4...

I didn't find an actual pro. Makes sense that a Microsoft Kernel developer would also be frustrated by their lack of modern C support.
