Yeah, I've seen that a lot in C++ code. I hate it <g>. At this point, I'm not even sure I have a rational reason too, except that it seemed to make learning C++ a lot more difficult/cryptic; I kept asking myself: is that a naming convention? Some sort of operator? What's the difference between _Something and __Something (or, heaven forbid, ___Something)? Especially since that's the line continuation identifier in VB, isn't it?
