i still find some of the stuff extremely user-unfriendly (winxp) for manual native configuation, and i'm sure other users do too. also, the amount of support for it is still sketchy (whether in the transport or from the applications themselves).
Yes, after trying to help a friend get IPv6 running on his WindowsXP system (you have to drop into a DOS box.. (but they did away with DOS, right?)), he decided it wasn't worth it if he had to do it that way.
At some point M$ might make it user friendly for the windows users but at this point it's /not/ something that joe blow customer will be doing.
start run cmd ipv6install How hard is that? Since you brought up Microsoft, you might want to go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/technologies/ipv6/default.asp Also, from the Research web site Windows .NET Server and beyond The next version of Windows will include the first fully-supported release of the Microsoft IPv6 stack. This stack has been designed for full production use, suitable for live commercial deployments Hope that helps.
