They were originally known as Microsoft Subsystems[1][2] and encompassed Win32, POSIX, and OS/2.
This was followed by Windows Services for UNIX along with the demise of POSIX and OS/2 subsystems, which was subsequently succeeded by Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Yes, this means Win32 is to this day a subsystem of Windows NT.
