BeOS/Haiku - C++

Symbian - C++

MacOS X - Device Drivers are written in a C++ subset (IOKit)

z/OS - Original code was Modula-2/Assembly, with new code being 
C++

Windows - WinRT is C++, C is considered legacy, Herb Sutter 
stated at BUILD 2012 that Windows team is making kernel code C++ 
compatible. I can search for the exact minute in the videos if 
you wish.
