In the sense that it's a program that allows other programs to run, it
could be classed as similar.

Of course, they're poles apart when it comes to quality, stability etc

the same as telling us that the Ariane 5 is similar to the Delta IV.

Apologies to the space scientists who do actually know the difference :)
