Thats just the thing though... Every version of Windows since NT 4.0 has used essentially the same kernel, which is the heart of the OS. NT 4, W2k, XP, 2k3, they all use a derivation of the same kernel. This *does* affect all recent versions of Windows (assuming the kernel, or any other shared parts of the OS were leaked).
More important IMHO are the impacts this could have on the Open Source Software community. Not good. Not good at all.
