An IPv6 stack is distributed with every copy of Windows XP, but it is
not activated by default, you have to type a command to do that (the
command is, "ipv6 install"). The stack is meant to enable application
developers to port and test their applications, and also network
managers to gain operational experience with IPv6. Expect further
releases & updates. Microsoft's IPv6 work is described at
http://www.microsoft.com/ipv6/.
