Different, because the old strands were not the same. The nucleotides of each strand of DNA are bonded together in a very specific way - it is called complementarity.
For instance, one strand has a following sequence: ATTGACC . The other strand (or the new strand synthesised based on that strand) has complementary sequence: TAACTGG
