pffft.... read my post about Linux a decade ago when I was full on in 
the MS camp and confused about what eth0 meant and where you configure 
your IP address.  Today the linux boxes out number the windows ones and 
I use FLOSS all the time and put out the odd patch file.

I spent a decade following different MS technologies and it's interested 
me for years about how they release a 'flash new way of doing something 
that we all need to get on' and then 5 years later it's just gone.

But I think you just missed the focus of what I was saying...  I'm busy 
out there building stuff at the edge to get more 1's and 0's places, 
like everyone else on this list, and I have to pick the battles and 
where to focus.

Right now it seems to me that to remain competitive the focus has to be 
on getting more 1's delivered at a lower cost because that's the focus 
for many of our competitors around the world and for us in New Zealand 
we're a really long way from many markets, including Australia, when 
compared to other countries.

It just seems to me that 'fast and cheap' just doesn't include v6 currently.

We've got a single stack now - v4

It's dual stacking that really seems a long way off.
