Microsoft pulls plug on IPv6-only Wi-Fi network over borked VPN fears

Really? I never heard of 'Lasse Haugen' before. Why should I, or anyone else, give a damn about his opinion?

I have IPv6 set up on my home router, as my ISP put in the necessary infrastructure several years ago. I have IPv6 set up on my cellphones; both my cellcos put in the necessary infrastructure years ago. 90+% of my connections on my cellphones and on my home router are IPv4. THERE IS EFFECTIVELY NOTHING TO CONNECT TO. Why should BigCorp (or even El Reg) go to the trouble of setting up IPv6 when no-one, outside of a few neckbeards, give a flying fuck at a rolling donut on the deck of a tanker in a thundering typhoon about IPv6? Setting up IPv6 costs money and takes time. Why do it unless there's a reason? IPv4 appears to be working well enough, and as almost everyone is using IPv4, anyone who goes with IPv6 will have to dual-stack until such a time as enough people move to IPv6 to make it worth while to kill the IPv4 stack. Who's gonna pay for that? Lasse Haugen?
