If the customer knew how to do that he wouldn't still be using Windows XP.

Gmail and Facebook are already dual stack enabled. But I do not see
Facebook turning off IPv4 for a very long time. Therefore a customer that
only uses the Internet for a few basic things will be able to get along
with being IPv4-only for a very long time.
IPv6 has no killer feature for this customer segment. They will be upgraded
the next time they move and get new equipment. Otherwise they will stay
with what they got until the retirement home.
