As someone has already said, IPv6 does not offer any advantage except that NAT is no longer necessary. The disadvantage is that if you use IPv6 on your private network, all the machines and all the software on that network must use IPv6. For example, there are a lot of email programs out there still in use that do not support IPv6. The more likely scenario is that when IPv6 is finally implemented, many private networks will continue to use IPv4 and NAT; the only difference being that NAT will translate between IPv4 and IPv6 instead of between private and public addresses.

I wouldn't call that a lot and it is mostly niche software with the exception of Outlook/Outlook Express, but users would be doing themselves a big favour to switch from OE to Thunderbird or some other sane e-mail client anyway. I wouldn't consider most of this stuff even if v6 was not in the picture. Besides if you're still running old crap like this you're probably still running XP and I wouldn't bother with v6 unless I was using an OS with better v6 support.

Like what ( Mac OS, Unix/Linux, newer version of Windows than XP ) ? How is newer versions of Windows XP better, in terms of IPv6 support? Thanks

Having an e-mail client that isn't a complete PoS and full of bugs. I migrated a handful of my friends / family members away from OE many years ago when they were running XP because it has a nasty bug with TLS or was it SASL making it unusable. Can't remember which as it was quite some time ago. They all loved TB much more so than OE and they had a non broken mail client; plus various features that were pretty useful. said by aefstoggaflm: Please explain why. Especially with OE/Outlook and Eudora (are you kidding me..) its mostly old crap or is just plain crap and I wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy. said by aefstoggaflm: Like what ( Mac OS, Unix/Linux, newer version of Windows than XP ) ? How is newer versions of Windows XP better, in terms of IPv6 support? XP doesn't support SMB / DNS over v6 and there are a few other aspects of its v6 support that are sub par compared to Vista/7. Similar issues with OS X 10.5 and older; there is also one or more nasty bugs with the resolver. I wouldn't consider unless using 10.6.8 or newer.
