I don't know, but I would guess they used more than one language to write the Operating System.

I think as Linux it's based on C++ and some other componenets making Windows slower and with lore bugs n_n.

It's a mixture, like all it's predecessors. C, C++ and probably C#.
It is possible (but very unlikely) that there is some legacy assembler in there as well, and the pure C component is likely to have reduced as well.

Yes for making Windows OS they might have used more than one language. Like the most lower level like HAL and drivers are made of C. Middle level and executive components are too made up of C/Win32/COM etc. Then comes the upper layer which seems to be made from Win32/COM/MFC/.Net etc.
