MSO (all versions) is almost entirely C++, like most MS programs and Win32 itself. Most of the very low-level stuff (including the NT Kernel) is in C.
C++ had barely been invented when Word, Excel & Access were written, and the compilers and language was still really immature when Outlook and Powerpoint began. Even 8-10 years ago (when Office XP was gestating as a modification of Office 2000) C++ programs were still known dogs.
