Why We Use C Than C++...

Hi, Please help me in this regard...
All the kernel level programs are written in C... (i.e: Open Source
LINUX)... Why are they not using C++... I personally feel that C++ is
more easy to code than C... When i searched in our encyclopedia (i.e
Google), i came up with several answers, telling "C is much faster than
C++ and most kernal prgms uses only C" ... But why is it so...? Why
they use C for these OS based programs.. Please Help me with detailed
explanation...

Cheers,
Balaji Jayaraman...
