No, they are not. It's just that the "basic functionality" seems to work
the same at first glance (i.e. you don't need to learn alot of new
syntax in order to switch from old-style to new-style classes).

Play around with things like dir() and type() on old-style and new-style
classes, and you will soon see differences.
