XP Home and Pro are built on the NT kernel. Are they the same as NT, no as
they are an evolution of the OS which first became Windows 2000 and now
currently is Windows XP.

No.
While WinXP is in the WinNT family, it is a different operating system.

No. XP Home is based on Windows NT and Windows 2000 technologies, but it incorporates newer features not found in the earlier NT based OS's, and lacks some features of them, since it is intended for Home use, not business users.

No. But they are closely related. Read on.
Windows NT is a family of operating systems which share a basic
underlying architecture. The last version of this family that was
*called* NT was Windows NT 4.0. Its successor in the family was
called Windows 2000 (under the hood, this was Windows NT 5.0) and
2000's successor is Windows XP (both Professional and Home).
Under the hood, XP is Windows NT 5.1.
So in a sense NT, 2000, XP Professional, and XP Home are *all*
NT. Both "2000" and "XP" are marketing terms; these operating
systems are actually versions of NT. However, when people talk
about Windows NT, they are almost invariably talking about NT
4.0, and not XP or 2000. Nobody running Windows XP, if asked what
operating system he ran, would answer "NT."
