$0.02 for drivers in C vs C++:

The OS needs to be tight as possible.  C++ has some performance issues over
straight C.  Virtual methods in C++ also adds a couple of bytes to the
container vs. a structure.  If OBOS is going to be used as an embedded OS
(which it could be), then the kernel needs to be very tight.
