NX-OS and IOS are same as previously PIX OS and IOS.. they can do allot of things similar but configuration concepts, default values, commands are different. 

NX-OS is majorly focused on Datacenter technologies and has allot of improvments on IOS.

 

i.e.

HSRP

... in iOS on1 device will be active.

... in NX-OS both can be active ... same as GSLB in iOS

vDC and vPC are the major advancements on iOS
