MvV> In 2009, so eight years ago actually.
My total IPv6 convesion was 2 years later. However, I have to be pragmatic, there are some systems (ham radio is notorious) that don't support IPv6, so each case is judged on its merits.

Luckily the vast majority of my decisions involve no expenditure (either open source or freeware).

I ran Warp 3. Worked really well, and although there were some incompatibilities, I was able to get networking with Windows machines more or less working. I am one to revisit things at a later date, if there is merit.

That is disappointing, though there is scope for a totally new network stack, which better include IPv6! :)
