I wonder whether such comments are worth a reply... In any case, Windows XP does indeed support the standard Internet protocols. It includes an IPv4 stack, and an IPv6 stack that is targeted at software developers, to help them port their Windows applications to IPv6 and test them; we expect to upgrade this stack in future releases as specified at http://www.microsoft.com/ipv6/. The IPv6 stack does include transition tools such as 6to4 or ISATAP, which have been developed by the NGTRANS working group of the IETF. Misrepresenting these tools for some kind of alternative Internet is sheer lunacy. -- Christian Huitema
