Thats not a good comparison. Linux is nothing completly new, it was, and
still is, a new implemenation of an existing operating system concept and
thus at least mostly source-compatible to other operating systems
implementing this concept.
Linux would never had this success if it were not posix compliant and
could run applications like X or gcc which were written for other
operating systems.
