1) That's out of context.  I meant I would not use C for applications.

2) Now, if any language, including basic, had a version that could be 
used for OS type of work, then by definition, it could be used for 
kernel mode work.

3) I'm willing to bet there are versions of C that are also not 
applicable for kernel mode work ....
