One (the?) major problem is, that the DNS resolver cannot use IPv6 as transport. That makes IPv6-only setups impossible. Application problems are still there, too, of course. For example, it is possible to let IE use a proxy via IPv6, but only with the trick of putting a hostname IPv6-address into the hosts file (and using that name in the IE configuration, not the literal address).
