Yep.

They are (and especially were 15 years ago) rather
similar in some kernel things.

But that is something like 2% of Windows.

Win32 API, MFC, COM, WMI, registry, .NET etc. are
completely different from anything on VMS (let us
gracefully forget the attempts to get COM and
registry on VMS !).

We can see the opposite for Linux & Unix. They have a very
different kernel, but because they use the same GUI, the same
shells, the same apps etc. then they in reality are very similar.
