Vista Not Playing Well With IPv6

netbuzz writes in to note that some early adopters of Microsoft Vista are reporting problems with Vista's implementation of IPv6. An example:"'We are seeing a number of applications that are IP-based that do not like the addressing scheme of IPv6,' says one user. 'We will send a print job to an IP-based printer, and the print job becomes corrupted. We're seeing this with Window's Vista machines. When IPv6 is installed, this happens without fail. As soon as we remove IPv6, all of our printer functions return to normal.'"

Disable this whole "internet" thing altogether. It's been full of security problems for Windows ever since someone dreamed it up.

I think you responded to the wrong story, but you're amazingly on topic anyway.

Microsoft's IPv6 stack is extremely secure, more so than the Linux one. It achieves this by simply not talking to anything.
