Although Microsoft would dearly love you to believe that Longhorn is similar to Mac OS-X the truth is Microsoft's desperate attempt to mimic Apple's features in their vaporware, the similarity comes down to the brains driving these operating systems, and the similarity there is:

Mac OS-X = BSD
Longhorn = BSE

Windows after years as the viral OS, will one day change to the prion OS.

BSE = Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Mad Cow Disease & the prion is the cause of this brain wasting disease.
BSD = Berkeley Software Distribution
