I don't see "GNU" being marketed as "operating system" as in Red Hat and SUSE products.
NT is a kernel, Windows is an Operating system.
Not quite right i.e. specifically "Windows NT Kernel".
Refer to
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/ntwrkstn/reskit/execmsgs.aspThe Windows NT Kernel is the part of the Windows NT Executive that manages the processor. It performs thread scheduling and dispatching, interrupt and exception handling, and multiprocessor synchronization. It also provides primitive objects to the Windows NT Executive, which uses them to create user-mode objects.
"NT" label can denote the following
1. Windows NT 3.x
2. Windows NT 3.5x
3. Windows NT 4.0
4. Windows 2000 (a.k.a. NT 5.0)
5. Windows XP (a.k.a. NT 5.1)
6. Windows Server 2003(a.k.a. NT 5.2)
7. Australia's Northern Territory (a.k.a. NT) .
The NT label itself is not specific enough.
