Windows 95 == ~1995 Windows 98 == ~1998 It's 2002, this is computers, stuff gets renewed. And as these are commercial applications/OS's one needs to pay. Otherwise port over the KAME stack at your own pleasure.

Chicken and egg. "No software" and "No connetivity" Software is being addressed, we just have to nag everyone a bit. At least for MS OS's Microsoft is going to support it's most crucial apps for .Net to have IPv6 support. I personally would love to see Netmeeting with IPv6 support <hint> Connectivity is being addressed by the ISP's check: http://www.ripe.net/ipv6/ipv6allocs.html Total Allocated for the 3 RIRs: 178 15 Allocations this month in only the RIPE region, it _will_ catch on... In Japan/APNIC region you simply call up your ISP and say "I want IPv6 connectivity" and you get it ;) It will come, one can hop on the train now, or miss the train. > >> And therefore, since most of the services are reachable only by ipv4 > >> connectivity, new "productivity" (i.e. non "experimental") services > >> won't come out with ipv6 connectivity.

Also Microsoft doesn't want one to run 9x simply because they don't want to keep supporting stuff from almost 7 years ago. In computer terms that's another century. For further questions and explainations you should ask it the microsoft people: http://www.research.microsoft.com/msripv6/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] handled by [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> allowing the 6bone to become a full and real "6internet". > > If maybe you did actually even used it once you would know that there is > > no '6internet' > > There is simply _1_ internet that's why it's called an internet. > It was just a way to identify it as "the internet after the Big Switch to ipv6". :) There will be no "big switch". It will all evolve.
