The correct number from the presentation is 0.238% - only Russia, Ukraine and France have more than 0.5% IPv6.

Depends on what you're looking for, but if you are interested in the amount of users that have any kind of IPv6 connectivity, this undercounts severely because address selection rules on recent OSs typically select IPv4 if their connectivity is 6to4 or Teredo.
Pekka,

can you identify the OSes that prefer IPv4 when on 6to4, and pointers to docs?

Steinar (the guy who did the Google experiment) has tried to dig through the documentation on both Vista and Linux, and has drawn a blank (Vista with Teredo doesn't even look up the AAAA record if it has IPv4 connectivity, according to the documentation, so it seems that it will not use IPv6 to IPv6-only hosts; it will never find the address.)
