i still find some of the stuff extremely user-unfriendly (winxp) for

amount of support for it is still sketchy (whether in the transport or
from the applications themselves).

Yes, after trying to help a friend get IPv6 running on his WindowsXP
system (you have to drop into a DOS box.. (but they did away with DOS,
right?)), he decided it wasn't worth it if he had to do it that way.

At some point M$ might make it user friendly for the windows users but
at this point it's /not/ something that joe blow customer will be doing.
