Yep. - OO != C++. It's a style of programming and while you can do OO in C++ you can easily do it in other languages (or do non-OO in C++, indeed) - A _lot_ of the kernel code/design is inherently object-oriented. So pardon our collective scepticism when YAC++Advocate comes along waving the "OO ergo C++" underw^Wflag
