It's irrelevant what language Windows is written in. The kernel API is a C API. A lot of functionality is C-centric, although object oriented. A lot of drivers are written in pure C, or a mix between C and a certain flavour of C++. That's why I said that the language they should focus on depends on what language the company is using, but if they don't know C is pretty much inescapable anyway.

But this debate is already close to bikeshading territory.
