Windows NT does ''not'' include [[wp:Windows 9x|Windows 9x/Me]] or [[wp:Windows 3.x|Windows 3.x]] or older, none of which were actual [[:Category:Operating Systems|operating systems]], but rather [[GUI|graphical shells]] that ran on top of [[DOS]]. (Windows NT was developed from the original [[OS/2]] codebase after Microsoft and IBM parted ways.)
'''[[wp:ReactOS|ReactOS]]''' is an open-source implementation of Windows NT, specifically aimed at binary compatibility with [[wp:Windows Server 2003|Windows Server 2003]] (NT 5.2). It is not a Microsoft product, and isn't included in any official list of Windows versions. It also isn't ready for public use, having been in alpha status for several years.
For more information, including a more inclusive list of NT versions, see [[wp:Windows NT|Wikipedia's Windows NT entry]].
