That's a common usenet myth, but its completely wrong. The only thing from
OS/2 in NT is code for OS/2 compatibility (NT has an OS/2 subsystem for
running character mode OS/2 1.x programs). (Unless by "innards" you mean
something other than the process handling, thread handling, memory management,
I/O system, file system, graphics system, and security system. :-)).

NTFS and HPFS are completely different designs, and I've seen no evidence
they share any code. Do you have a reference for that claim?
