Not according to webopedia.

Windows NT Last modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2002



A version of the Windows operating system. Windows NT (New Technology) is a 32-bit operating system that supports preemptive multitasking.
There are actually two versions of Windows NT: Windows NT Server, designed to act as a server in networks, and Windows NT Workstation for stand-alone or client workstations.
 
this time i think that webopedia is wrong :)

this was discussed around here a little while back... hmm... maybe i can dig it up if i can find it
 
It could be wrong, but thus far everything I've found on it backs it up. Personally, since NT was meant from the getgo to be networkable, I always thought it stood for Network Technology or the like.
