Hi,

Does anyone know anywhere where I can find the
advantages and disadvantages of different
programming languages for writing Operating
Systems?

Any Help greatly appreciated!

You probably won't find anything useful. Almost
every OS project uses C with a little bit of assembly.
There are a couple of OS projects entirely in Asm and a
few using C++. There is a little C++ info here

Besides C was written for system programming, it'd be
silly not to use it.
