AFAICT, most people who actually develop, deploy, and support applications =

Apple and Microsoft are application developers as well as OS vendors. How =
much of a priority do you think IPv6 capabilities are to their application =
development organizations? How much of a priority do you think IPv6 capabi=
lities are to their customer bases?
How much of a priority do you think IPv6 capabilities are for corporate IT =
departments, beyond a checklist item on RFPs in order to CYA?
Where are the IPv6-only SQL Server deployments within enterprises, for exam=
ple? In fact, where are the IPv6-enabled client access LANs within enterpr=
ises? Or even the *plans* for these types of deployments/capabilities?
Maybe they're hiding in plain sight. But I don't think so.
