The second slide (with Windows Core OS Services) was handed out as a poster on the booths. I think that the confusion stems from the word "Kernel" as in traditional Windows, vs. "Core". From a grammatical perspective they're similar, but I guess that "Core OS" conveys the new wave (with MinWin and so on and so forth).

The third slide, the one that adds the CLR on top of WinRT, is the part of the CLR that reflects the WinRT to managed languages. This was very well explained on the "A .NET developer's view of Windows 8 app development" session by Krzysztof Cwalina (one of the best sessions, IMO).
