Microsoft company did SCO sue for using code UNIX in its Operating System..

UNIX is an operating system which was first developed in the 1960s, and has been under constant development ever since. By operating system, we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It is a stable, multi-user, multi-tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops.

So, so could say that Windows, like Linux, has its roots in a UNIX type of OS, but Windows is not based on UNIX, just UNIX simmilar concepts. It was first based on MS-DOS, and Windows was just an interface for it that you could install on top. ... As a result, Windows operating system is more similar to VMS than to Unix.

A Unix-like (sometimes referred to as UN*X or *nix) operating system is one that behaves in a manner similar to a Unix system, while not necessarily conforming to or being certified to any version of the Single UNIX Specification. A Unix-like application is one that behaves like the corresponding Unix command or shell.
