Note: Supposedly 98% Of WannaCry Victims are Windows 7 users. The rest were supposedly XP and older NT systems.

That tool is pretty much useless for the vast majority of people infected. It requires such a specific corner case for it to work.
Also, the vast majority of infections are from XP, not win 7.
Win 7 & 10 were patched in March.

*Edit, seems in Russia, it was win 7(people who didn't patch!) over XP, but, UK & China was mainly XP.

I've got a W10 computer upstairs with it on it... (not mine, of course... a friend's mom, who clicks on every email or attachment. 'nuff said.) I'd be willing to give it a test drive...

EDIT: Nope, it's been rebooted and it's locked up.... oh, well.
