Next version? This should have delayed the release at least long enough for ipv6 not to be seeded on the LiveCD. People may consider the slow internet on the livecd to be caused by the fact that you're running from a cd, but when they install it they expect it to be full speed, which should be faster than Windows. I know that ipv6 needs to replace ipv4 soon, but if trying to do it slows down the internet, and Windows isn't doing the same thing, then it is considered an Ubuntu problem and not an isp or DNS resolver problem (whether it is or not). A lot of people are willing to take any fault with Linux to an extreme and say that is why you shouldn't use it (even if it isn't true). This will make people like that go nuts because they have found a problem with Ubuntu that isn't in Windows, completely disregarding all of the problems in Windows that aren't in Ubuntu. I have not seen Windows 7, but I have heard that it is a lot to compete against and if Ubuntu has slow internet, people won't even bother looking at it. You can't say that a fix is to go this bug report and look at comment #30. If there is a workaround, it should be applied before it is installed.
