While some features of OS/2 were incorporated into NT, such as LAN manager, NT was not a descendent of OS/2.
Until NT4 (I think it was), NT was able to run OS2 PM1.1 applications as NT shipped with the OS2 libraries.
Yes, there were a number of OS/2 features that we used by NT. I have
no issue with that, but the OS itself was designed from the ground up
and was not a descendant of OS/2. When Microsoft and IBM split up
Windows was really putting its resources into Windows, not OS/2. I'm
not sure if HPFS became NTFS.
However, OS/2 was a pretty decent OS.
