Sorry but "most windows PCs and home servers would need some tuning for v6" is just WRONG. If you have a proper configured IPv6 router and you plug a MacOS X or Linux box, they get IPv6 addresses automatically and are connected. This is part of the beauty of IPv6 to have autoconfiguration.
I agree with you, because I have a very good router at home, and Mac OSX - and as you say it just works. But
- There seems to be no consensus about how to serve end user addressing for ipv6 - Because there is no clear standard, there are no "normal" consumer CPE that support ipv6.
When both of these things happen, some clever people who understand how people buy can invent a 'made for the new internet' sticker that all of the CPE will want to carry on their packaging, and the CPE problem will eventually go away.
...... In my opinion. :-)
