According to stories I have read, IBM ran into the same problem whenthey were rewriting the SLIC for RISC. They tried get the existingpeople to write in C++ but they could not adapt so they ended upfiring all the old developers and bringing in kids from college towrite the SLIC kernel (The real operating system) in C++.
