MickeySoft is, IMHO, very pleased about IPv6: now they can force many users
to give up win3.11 and other older software: they must use the software the
MS updates to IPv6: Win9{5|6|7|8|9} and WinNT.
BTW: Although it is a very big pain in the ..... to upgrade to IPv6 for
everyone, we can use it's benifits: encryption and compression, these will
,along with others, being implemented in IPv6, I hope ?
