there is a NT-like free operating system called reactos
www.reactos.org.

It's not very mature, but it's come a long way already.
I wouldn't call it a "copy" of windows because it's a clean room implementation. It's compatible with windows at the API level, and similarily structured (I think). But then all cars have 4 wheels and you wouldn't really say a porsche is a copy of a ford mustang.
