Incorrect. NT was created by Dave Cutler, formerly of DEC, and it owes much of its existance to VMS. I think Cutler (one of the few true high-quality coders at MS) would owe you a kick in the teeth for that remark. NT carried an OS/2 text-mode subsystem for a number of years, but contrary to popular fictional history, NT isn't just OS/2 re-branded. If you actually fucking KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT OS/2 you'd know that.

Now, seriously, I get so goddamn sick of people spreading misinformation and plain old LIES. You really can't comprehend how stupid it makes the anti-Windows movement look.

Yeah, I think NT 3.5 had OS/2 lineage, but defintely not NT 4.0 and beyond.
