IMO the biggest difference is that that there is no longer a difference between binaries and libraries. Everything is a library. In UNIX there are a bunch of utilities which you just can't use from C. Also the idea of just passing data structures around instead of using a pipe passing streams of characters around is an improvement since there is no longer the need to serialize / deserialive it.
