For the most part they are the same but Embedded Linux is tailored for embedded devices that may have particular hardware configurations and limited resources.
what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
Linux is an operating system which is free and has an open source unlike Microsoft Windows. An embedded Linux is a small independent program used within all sorts of appliances to control its operation and its functions.
VxWorks is a proprietary operating system. Linux is free and open-source.VxWorks is distributed by a single company. Linux id developed by thousands of companies and individuals around the world.VxWorks is primarily used for real-time embedded applications. Linux is multi-purpose, used from anything from servers to desktops to embedded applications.
They are no way similar, so there is no point in comparison.
Embedded operating systems cannot be replaced with other operating systems. embedded system are designed for dedicated applicationembedded system are tailored to specific application.
The authors of the book Building Embedded Linux Systems are Karim Yaghmour, Jonathan Masters, Gilad Ben-Yossef and Philippe Gerum. The book was published by O'Reilly Media.

Linux is far more common these days than traditional Unix. But as any old system administrator will tell you, learn to learn, don't learn the system. There are numerous differences between the different Linux distros, differences between Linux and Unix, and differences between each of the Unices. Learning everything about each system is a daunting task, and probably near impossible. Rather than, say, learning all of the different command line switches for "ls" on each system, just know how to access a man page.
There is no such thing as "Windows Linux." Linux is not a version of Windows and has nothing at all to do with Windows. They are two totally completely different operating systems made by completely different people.
Linux is generally easier to install today. I experienced considerable difficulty in my last attempted install of Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 150.

The question cannot be answered as stated, since you don't mention which Windows system and which distro of Linux
