Windows XP: disabled by default. Has been sold on the majority of Netbooks well into 2010, and Netbooks were 1/3rd of the PC sales. > > > What we desperately need is factory-enabled transparent > > internetworking on all _NEW_ networking equipment and internet-enabled > > gadgets and appliances.

IPv6-capable beta firmwares for Fritz DSL-routers exist only for the two most recent models 7390 and 7270(v?). Other models (like the 7112/7113) or 7170, 7150) do *NOT* have sufficient resources to run IPv6 -- their flash memory is close to full as well as their RAM when they're running. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
