I'm all for Microsoft bashing, but if you are implying that Windows doesn't support IPv6 then you are very wrong. In fact you'll have trouble with some of their server software if you disable IPv6.
Lots of people still use Windows XP, which doesn't have built in IPv6 support. I believe there is an add-on that provides IPv6 support, however this was the first attempt Microsoft made, and as a result not recommended for serious use. Or so I have read.
You can run IPv6 on XP by issuing the command: ipv6 install However, as you say, it's not a production quality stack, though it does work fine for everyday end user purposes (I've used it extensively). Configuration is not done by the control panel, you need to use special commands and/or registry tweaks. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
