Also if your compuer is not a multi-user system (like most home
desktops) it no big deal.  "The flaw affects all operating systems, and
for a secure multi-user environment essentially requires that
Hyper-Threading be disabled."

So unless you have a system where there is more then one user (that is
not you) I would say don't worry at this time.
