Does Code Red infect Windows NT?

One of the recent announcements about Code Red II says that due to a 
bug the worm only infects Windows 2000. It says the same is true for 
the original versions of Code Red.

If I am following things:

    Both Windows 2000 and Windows NT are vulnerable to the IIS
    buffer overflow problem.

    Only Windows 2000 is infected by the Code Red Worm I and II (so far).

    Windows NT is not infected by the Code Red Worm I or II.

Is this really the case?
