certain that they will not move soon enough, citing "legacy" systems that cannot cope. The sooner that Microsoft Windows is _NOT_ supported, the better for all of us.
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.

My comments were prompted by the fact that the biggest competitor to Microsoft's latest versions has been the installed base of prior versions. Given the escalating hardware requirements, and propensity to rape wallets, it would be good to be vendor and OS neutral. The legacy of older versions of Microsoft Widows that will not cope with IPv6, and the relative costs of the upgrades, Linux is looking good to those of us with knowledge and competence.
