Bravo Vista! (Sort of)

I'm typing this on a friend's Windows Vista machine. The strange thing: the machine is directly connected to Internet and thus has a public IPv4 address. The interesting thing: IPv6 works ... not based on the Teredo 2001:0: address, but based on the 6to4 2002: address. The IPv6-only website http://ipv6.ip6.me/ shows my 2002: address.

So: Bravo Vista for the IPv6 connectivity.

Oh, wait: the IPv4 & IPv6 website http://www.ipv6.surfnet.nl/ shows my IPv4 address. Vista thus still likes IPv4 more than IPv6 ... :-(
