That I can understand. Now, if Windows is still unable to manage IPv6,

speaking about something that exist since something like thirty years.
In the computer world, it's not new.

Windows has supported IPv6 since Vista/Server 2008. However that does not
mean software and networks have been updated to make use of it.

If you have been following the tech news DOGE's complaints about the IRS
using COBOL are nothing new. The IRS has been attempting to modernize and
unify their system for 20 years. This is not unique to the IRS. For a
company to switch to IPv6 involves pain and expense. Europe and Asia faced
the IP address problem and had to react.

You overestimate human nature if you think many will take action now to
alleviate an action that may be necessary sometime in the future.
