Windows 3.1 was Win16. Windows 95 and Windows NT (3.5 and 4) were Win32 and were NT. It was around Windows 3.11 that Microsoft threw in Win32s, which was apparently a deliberate move to stop Windows 3.1 working inside OS/2's virtualisation system (where Windows ran better than it did outside of OS/2).
Even though Microsoft dropped the NT naming from Windows 2000 and XP, they were still NT beneath the branding.
