I worked on both OS/2 and NT and can say they were never the same code base. The NT kernel was 100% new code. At one point there was an effort to port the OS/2 GUI apis on top of the NT kernel. That effort was abandoned when it was decided to focus on a new 32 bit Windows API on NT. Scores of devs switched what they were working on overnight - fun times!
