I prefer to compare it with my transition from Win 3.1 to WinNT at work.
WinNT is a completely new operating system that just happens to be able to
run most of the old Win16-applications in an emulation process (->Classic in
OSX). It also supports the old APIs from Win16 (->Carbon), but to be able to
take advantage of the new features, you loose any backward compatibility.

The main difference is IMHO that Microsoft also released an OS called Win95
that stood somehow in between these two extremes. Apple decided to omit this
step.
