After the release they changed the name to "botnet submitted" to describe the situation better.

The affected library of August's MS06-040, Netapi32.dll, is included to NT4.0 installations and public exploits 
reportedly work on NT4 machines.

It is worth of mentioning that other Windows versions are not in safe, however.
