No, technically, it's not truly object-oriented, because it does not include polymorphism, inheritance, virtual function call stacks, and other requirements of true OO languages. However, I'm not saying it's not IMPOSSIBLE to accomplish these with the C language alone, but it's just MUCH more complicated, and if C++ has these things built in, why not just say C/C++ together is an OO language?

(I DONT LIKE STDMETHOD POINTERS AND HAVING TO WRITE VTABLES!)
