Work on NT started a bit earlier, I think, although it was called OS/2
3.0 then. This doesn't mean that the OS/2 3.0 actually shipped has
much in common with NT 3.1, the actual OS/2 3.0 is based on OS/2 2.0
technology.
On the other hand, NT includes quite a few backwards-compatibility
features (DOS, WoW, OS/2, POSIX).
