Hi Suresh,

Thank you for your comment.

But Windows Vista and 7 are correctly updating preferred lifetime. :-)
(i.e. It conforms to Section 5.5.3 of RFC4862.)

The problem is that Windows Vista and 7 don't restore to "Preferred"
 from "Deprecated".

Please see my question.

We have to define clearly in RFC?

Sincerely,
Masanobu
