one reader writes 'Windows 10 not affected' - you might want to inform yourself
[EDIT] This is in contradiction to what the article claims.

Interesting last bit of that clip... the tubez might just be gettin a bit turbulent, stand by for the "there oughtta be a law" crowd...Amol Sarwate, director of engineering at security firm Qualys, has confirmed that at least one of the exploits, Eternalblue, works on Windows 10, even though the exploit was created before the OS was released. Hickey, Beaumont, and other researchers said they have been unable to reproduce that result. Still, the public distribution of some of the NSA's most prized hacking tools is sure to cause problems. In a post published by the Lawfare website, Nicholas Weaver, a security researcher at the University of California at Berkeley and the International Computer Science Institute, wrote:
Normally, dumping these kinds of documents on a Friday would reduce their impact by limiting the news cycle. But Friday is the perfect day to dump tools if your goal is to cause maximum chaos; all the script kiddies are active over the weekend, while far too many defenders are offline and enjoying the Easter holiday. I’m only being somewhat glib in suggesting that the best security measure for a Windows computer might be to just turn it off for a few days.
Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.
What others do pales beside what YOU do.
Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
