Other way around. Apple and Linux are both derivatives of Unix(TM).
Apple via the BSD, Linux via GNU/FSF reimplementations.

Hmm.... I remember R.Stallman getting very annoyed that it was called
"Linux" rather than "GNU/Linux"
If I understand correctly, Apple has lots of GNU but no Linux.
In either case, Windows still has an effective monopoly on the desktop,
if you use the perfectly reasonable definition:
">90% market share = monopoly".
If Linux is "finished" in either sense of the word, it's a sad day.
