That's a pretty silly thing to say: Windows XP is Windows 2000 done with
crayons, which in turn was merely an incremental upgrade of Windows NT 4.0,
which was a cosmetic rebuffal of Windows NT 3.5, which basically was the
first NT that actually worked (and I do hope you're not including the
DOS-extender version of Windows in this comparison?).
Mac OSX is essentially a completely new operating system, based on UNIX and
BSD.
