Yes, PIX/ASA has a different OS tham IOS. That's on purpose. Lots of folks have policies which require that their security is different from their infrastructure.
Are you sure it's not just that PIX was originally BorderWare and that IOS runs (or ran) on m68k processors while the PIX codebase is x86? Chris Blask subscribes to this mailing list, you know.
Of course, we also offer the IOS Firewall, which is another Enterprise-Class firewall with full routing functionality. The biggest advantage with these solutions, based on thousands of interviews with customers, is how fully they integrate with the network.
Are you sure it's not the difference in hardware platforms again? Combining IOS and PIX OS is too complicated to be worth the effort. That's OK. I'm not trying to start a flame war, but I'm a little offended that you didn't think anybody here would know the real answers.
