I don't see "based on" - "written in" is not the same. NT was a rename of
OS/2 v3, the version being re-engineered for cross-machine compatibility by
MS (while IBM were making v2); hence the use throughout of a high-level
language.
Therefore Microsoft was earlier
in the application of OOP languages then most other companies,
OS/2 v2 already had a fully O-O desktop (the Workplace Shell) written by
IBM - to this day Windows isn't as purely O-O on the desktop.
Many people see the start of O-O going back to Simula-67 anyway.
