Experienced users know painfully well just how smooth and painless 32-bit (windows) and 32-bit IPv4 is, whereas newer 64-bit (windows) and newer 128-bit IPv6 is just many painful problems and ZERO benefit. A lot of the equipment that me and my family is using is not IPv6 capable, and *ALL* Software that I've used so far (Linux, WinXP, Win7) runs ***MUCH*** better when configured with IPv4-only anyway, so why bother. If someone needs to be pushed, then it is *VENDORS*, not users, that they ship their equipment in a fashion that it will work with IPv6, should this ever become available. Then maybe in 10 years from now, this might become interesting to end users. -Martin
