No. Windows NT 4.0 was the last NT version.

Windows 2000 is Windows 2000. Windows 2000 Server is their Server product.
I am sure some of the code was ported over and modified.

If the question is understood....

No and Yes.

No, It is not "NT" - the BRAND, but yes, Windows 2000, 2003, Windows
2008, etc are all NT-BASED technology Windows OSe as opposed to
95-based OSs - Windows 95, 98, Home, Millenium, etc.

Yes!! Thank you! That was what I was trying to talk about.
I meant the "NT" functions.

They're also NT numbered. The only way
they're not NT is the marketing.

NT version

NT4 4
2000 5
XP 5.1
Server 2003 5.2
Vista 6.0
Win7 6.1

If you have a Windows 2000 machine at hand, just check
'Environment.OSVersion.Platform'. Its value should be 'PlatformID.Win32NT'
on Windows 2000.
 
Doesn't the splash screen in Win2000 actually say "Built on NT Technology"
at the bottom...?

But in answer to your question, yes - it's an NT based OS as opposed to a
toy OS (95/98/ME) :-)

Just as C++ or Assembler, or even C#, are the real thing, as opposed to
VB.Net which is a toy and which, according to Micro$oft, is suitable only
for first time or casual Windows programmers ;-)
