I haven't done a comparison, but you might want to know that QNX is not
a Unix look-alike. If you approach it from that angle, you'll either
be very disappointed or very pleased :-)

(Some of the concepts are common, and some of the commands have the same
names, but the syntax and system architecture is quite different. QNX
is similar to Unix primarily insofar as both are 'C machines'.)
