start run cmd ipv6install

How hard is that?

Since you brought up Microsoft, you might want to go to

http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/technologies/ipv6/default.asp

Also, from the Research web site

Windows .NET Server and beyond  The next version of Windows will include
the first fully-supported release of the Microsoft IPv6 stack. This stack
has been designed for full production use, suitable for live commercial
deployments

Hope that helps.
