its a sofware limitation.

once isp's start moving, other things will follow suit, more and more websites go dual stack every day but until broadband isp's get moving it will be a slow moving thing, once isp's get their act together everything else will follow, but the attitude of oh the devices dont support it so why bother is very wrong.

VM and other isp's should have been deploying ipv6 alongside ipv4 long before today.
