No, they are not the same, Alias. Windows 7 is based on the latest variant of the NT kernel (NT 6.1) and Linux is a UNIX clone - the latest RedHat Server kernel being based on the Linux 2.6.18 kernel.

NT has its roots in DEC's work:

[Windows NT - Wikipedia]
"Microsoft hired a group of developers from Digital Equipment Corporation led by Dave Cutler to build Windows NT, and many elements of the design reflect earlier DEC experience with Cutler's VMS and RSX-11."

Linux has roots in MINIX which has its roots in UNIX:

[Linux - Wikipedia]
"In 1991 while attending the University of Helsinki, Torvalds began to work on a non-commercial replacement for MINIX, which would eventually become the Linux kernel."

That doesn't make it any less of a copy as far as appearance is concerned.

Well...
They are both software, both OSes - but I don't see how else they are 'the same', or even similar... ;-)

Windows 7 "Aero" is a lame copy of Compiz.
