Forget about it on XP,
Hmmm. MS says otherwise:

but it's in Vista. You can add it to BSD/Linux without too much
trouble (are there good, bugfree implementations for those yet?)
Bugfree? Nothing is bugfree :)
but Mac is a problem for prospective DHCPv6 users because the network
configuration mechanisms are fairly proprietary and DHCPv6 isn't
likely to be supported any time soon.
Hmmmm. I have yet to play with the Mac Ipv6 support (typing this on a
Mac now I should try in my lab later). What auto configuration
mechanisms are you referring to? Bonjour? Isn't there an RFC or two for
Zeroconf?
