Interesting findings:

If you watched the following discussion as well, you surely noticed
this analysis is as inaccurate as an analysis can be. They didn't
even bother to install Mac OS X Server to test server capabilities.
They didn't notice the slower but far more secure way Mac OS X
enforces writing data to disk.
I'm partial to C++ because objects are easy to develop and update
regarding what your tasks are.
C++ is one of many object-oriented languages, only. In fact, I'd
recommend it if you need cross-platform code, only. FWIW. Objective-C
has a much cleaner design and is supported on Mac OS X at a similar
or even higher level.
For instance an object capable of capturing select data fields
similar to which the Apple Utility System Profile collects, could
be constructed.
Yes, you can. But why? Well designed software doesn't bother on which
hardware it runs. It checks for few specific capabilities, at best.
This is probably the reason why a comfortable, high level API to
check current hardware doesn't have a high priority at Apple: They
want to encourage good software design.
