cmd.exe is a native Win32 console app; command.com is a CP/M program image running under DOS emulation in Virtual8086 mode.
There's a
big difference there.
I am glad at least one other person knows the difference ;) (And probably anyone who did read the docs knows this)
Users do not read documentation.
But people reading NANOG should, at least I hope you do. And with all the nice and spiffy autoconfig in IPv6 a user shouldn't be reading nor has to read it either :)
Presumably the final release of the IPv6 stack will be GUIfied like the IPv4 stack was. Microsoft is fortunately more
concerned with
getting their stack working than creating an idiot-proof installer for
a beta product. Which is a good thing(tm) As for the on-topic part of this message I would like to point people at a very good presentation Steve Deering gave at isoc.nl a couple of months ago here in the Netherlands: Powerpoint: http://isoc.nl/activ/cursusmateriaal/2002-Masterclass-IETF-IPv6.ppt OpenOffice/StarOffice: http://isoc.nl/activ/cursusmateriaal/2002-Masterclass-IETF-IPv6.sxi It contains a basic IPv6 intro (which users could also read ;) and a has a nice deployment projection at the end of the slides. For people not wanting to take a looky at this presentation, the projection is: ~2003 Q4 Asia ~2004 Q4 Europe ~2006 Q2 America So you US folks should start doing something with IPv6 if we take these numbers into account. You are tagging behind europe for almost 18 months! (btw, Steve wrote this up and he is american, so no cross-continent wars please :) Greets, Jeroen
