Linux Kernel and the Apache Web Server are two that come to mind.

Actually all major operating systems are written in C.
Unix and Linux are.
Windows is written in C, C++, and C# according to: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/65a1fe05-9c1d-48bf-bd40-148e6b3da9f1/what-programming-language-is-windows-written-in

I had know this about Windows without any external references, having seen parts of the source code up from 2000 to Windows 7

Linux, Unix and Windows are written in C.
Most of the drivers for web cameras, microphones and other hardwares are written in C.
Most of the games and programs are written in C.

@ArkPhaze If you happen to have the code of the Windows loader (XP or later), hit me up, please. I could use it.

I most likely do, but the problem is that I can't disclose the source to anybody else due to an NDA. Source or specific information about the code included. If it weren't for such agreements enforced on people that have access, Windows would probably be open source by now..
